When is a sub a sub?

The answer to this is: (1) (a) when the head coach requests a substitution and/or (b) when a player enters the sub zone without the coach making a specific request and (2) when the official recognizes the request by whistle and signal.

If there is no delay between authorizing one sub and the other one coming into the zone, then I have no problem - it simply becomes much like the consecutive sub procedure used in USAV and NCAA. If there is a noticeable delay between the subs getting to the zone, the second one is going to be denied.
