C informs the Lead that the ball went through. Lead asks if it matters whether the push was before the tap or after.

Why would the C do that? It seems confusing to provide information about a basket which cannot count by rule. Perhaps the C was unsure about what the L called. Yet another reason that it is best if the C and T call the pushes from behind during rebounding action and the Lead handles the contact on the original drive to the hoop. Would make more sense if the C informed the Lead that the scorer incorrectly counted the goal. That would be helpful and a worthy contribution to the play.
