Regardless of his personal answer, it was a good response and one this official wouldn't have thought of. Thanks.
I'm pretty anal about substitutes not coming in if they report after the first horn, so I suppose that this situation is even worse than that.

I've read this discusion before and understand the rule-but never see it enforced around here. I think we should but it is hard to when you are the U and the R has 2-10x more experience than you and isn't concerned with this rule. Can you explain how you deal with it? Forgot about the situation originally presented here where the coach notified the bench. How about these two situations:
1. Start of the second quarter subs come on to the floor and you know they didn't report in.
2. Just before the second quarter starts, and after the first horn, subs go and report to the bench and try and come on the floor.
In both situations keep in mind that the scorer is a student volunteering that doesn't know the rule-and I am lucky if they can just keep the AP arrow right and don't want to confuse them with this in a pre-game. FYI- in the few games I have been the R I pregamed it with the captains/coaches and it wasn't a problem.
