That sub better be ready to come in by the second horn. And then those 2 players on the FT spaces better be moving towards them.
Unlike crosscountry, I have never given leeway on this. Sub ready by second horn or we're shooting free throws.
If the coach can do that AND talk to his kids, more power to him.

Totally agree.
If that period of time was meant to be for conferring with players the NFHS would not have reduced the timeframe down to 15 seconds and would not have added a preliminary horn. They did this to eliminate that time period from being a defacto time-out. They want coaches to choose a sub and get him/her to the table.
