I would certainly check the table for subs before putting the ball back in play, but my first look is never at the table when I'm stopping play. I usually get my shooter first, then get the clock. If there's no shot in the play, I will try to check the clock immediately.

Sometimes there's confusion about what's being called with a double whistle, and then sometimes I am more concerned with making sure I'm on the same page as my partner before I check the clock.
Yes, I was talking about stopping play. That's why I asked about the table. My fault for not being specific in the OP. You'd think I'd know to be specific by now.
