I suggested that the official could have just asked the coach to have the player report and get on with the game.
The official in the stands (Father of Coach B, who benefited from the call) said, "NO WAY, there is a rule that the sub has to check in before the 30 seconds is up"...he went on to say that there is a warning horn before the 30 seconds is up, and the sub has to be checked in before that. He was adamant about the warning horn for a DQ.
I told him he is correct as far as a TO goes...but to my knowledge there was no warning horn required for DQ's. He said, "Oh yes there is".
As Nevada said, there is a warning horn at the 20-second mark by rule if the replacement hasn't reported by then. That horn is to let the coach know that he's got 10 seconds left to get a sub in. The coach that you were sitting with did have one part of the rule wrong though. The sub has to be at the table to be beckoned in by the 30-second mark, not before it. If the sub isn't at the table at the thirty-second mark, It's a direct "T" charged to the head coach under R10-5-1(d).
