A player's 3rd, 4th, & 5th fouls & when down to 1 time out is how I was taught for when to communicate to the coach. Some coaches would rather have every foul known to them. That was 10+ years ago when I was last scorer. Times change as do the rules.
In the situations I am talking about are lower-level games where there's only one coach for a team (no statistician). The scorers' table is close to the benches where communication is possible.

The coach is free to have a statistician on his bench to record the same information and verify it with the scorer from time to time.
The coach should only go to the table when allowed by rule. He cannot go to the table to check on fouls or timeouts. Asst. coaches should only be allowed at the table during halftime. At no other time should an asst. ever be at the table.
