Actually, upon further reflection, I realized that there are a couple of things that do need to be seen by the scorer as the game does not get stopped and this information reported. The official signaling a 3-pt goal and the number of the player making the shot.
But the first can be corrected at any future point in the game and the second isn't the end of the world if it is missed as long as the running score is kept correctly.
