Perhaps the communication, in that case, should be, "The ball went in while you were heading to the table, and they put it on the board", but communication of some sort was needed here.

Last night: A1 shoots, misses. A2 "crashes the boards" and tips/taps the ball, as he pushes B2 from behind. Lead calls the push, and quickly turns to report the foul. The ball bounces straight up from the rim, twice, and then goes through. Lead is unaware that it went through. The scorer adds 2 points to A's score.
C informs the Lead that the ball went through. Lead asks if it matters whether the push was before the tap or after.
