It is only a tactic IF the officials continue to let him do it. And he will only try to continue the practice if he sees the official will let him succeed in additional attempts.
The first time it happens I may let the sub go back and give the benefit of the doubt that the coach was calling the sub back before I stopped the game to beckon him in. But I will also tell the coach this is a one time deal. Next time any sub is at the table when I beckon him in the sub IS coming into the game. Once he gets the message the sub will have to come in he will stop the practice.
I said a T is a stretch because I never let it get that far so it is an issue.
If I do more shame on me as the official that the coach trying the tactic.
