I created  some problems last night because I insisted on the players being at the table and a horn from the table.
Do you guys use the whistle for every sub along with or instead of a horn from the table? |
It drives me nuts watching officials that DON'T whistle the sub in, although we expect a horn first followed by the whistle from the covering official. It really does depend on your area.
