I haven't heard of any "steps" to discourage this out my way.

I think I originally saw it here:
http://myweb.cableone.net/bbv/2003-04rules.htm under the Substitutions - Player Disqualification section. I don't know who wrote the text, but the basic outline looks similar to state sites communicating rule changes for the 2003 - 2004 season.

Because of numerous abuses and attempts to circumvent this rule, there have been rules proposals submitted ranging from doing away with the 30-second interval resulting in coaches having to make an immediate substitution, to not permitting the remaining four players near the team bench during this time frame.

It then talks about trying to address abuses through points of emphasis before initiating rule changes.
