And I wouldn't even bet a dime that "not reporting" never occurred in thousands of these situations over forty-plus years.

It would certainly be losing bet.

By rule, it is the scorer's responsibility. In practice, the timer is the one who actually controls the electronic scoreboard, sounds the audio signal to call the officials' attention, and displays players in the game and fouls on the scoreboard. I would check the board, make sure the timer didn't make any changes to the scoreboard, and confirm with the scorer that what the timer has is correct. .
