Actually, the proper game awareness is for the C to notice them on his/her own and bring them in.

In addition to the reasons Dribble mentioned, the game moves along more expeditiously if the T prepares for the throw-in rather than bringing subs and then turning to administer. (kinda similar to the L getting everyone ready for the free three while the tableside official is reporting a foul).

Or the trail could just have a normal level of game awareness and turn around to check for subs - and wave them in if there are any waiting - if there hasn't already been a horn by the scorekeepers.

Sorry, if you prefer that way, no big deal....I just think it's odd to have someone 60 feet away wave the subs in when his partner is RIGHT THERE.
The rational behind not administering the subs when you have the ball is that it looks sloppy and is mechanically unfeasable. One hand on the ball and waving in players with the other is plain ugly and you can't have a stop clock because your off-hand is holding the ball.

The proper game awareness in that situation is to motion to the C to bring in the subs.
