I am just saying, let's try to avoid the confusion and get the game going again. Put the sub in, put the ball in and play on.
No, the sub can come in once the whistle blows. The horn is officially irrelevant in this case, so you ignore it. That's why I tell the thrower to play on, all the players will get it quickly enough.

If you decide to blow the whistle and kill it, let him in.

Yes, this whole mess was created by a over eager timer, or a coach who yelled "Sub" as he sent young Mr. Snuffy to the table combined with a timer who is used to listening to the coach.
