It would seem to me that would only be necessary when there are 2 or 3 officials on the floor who don't have very good communication skills. If there's communication, there shouldn't be any confusion.

Obviously, the official with the ball always needs to make eye contact with partners before putting the ball into play, but I don't see where it would be necessary for him to beckon the subs. What if he misses one because he's 46' away?

We're a team. We need to work as a team.
