Now twenty seconds later the tables buzzes and asks for clarification on who the foul is on. Ref says A32. Table responds there is no A32 in the game (she was subbed quickly). Ref is now looking around at the floor trying to find the offender, and finally changes the report to A3 because she kinda looks like A32.
The real problem was the sub reporting quickly while the ref was still reporting. The table got distracted and the wrong player got the foul.
Anything the ref could have done? He held the sub while he reported, but the table was still confused.

Notice that the scorer is or isn't scoring.
Presuming it was noticed that the table was confused, fix the confusion before continuing.
Which leads me to the next question, how many of you notice whether the scorer records what you tell them before continuing with the game?
