My hands were up in front of me not in a position that the player would think he's being waved in. The player heard the horn and ran in (like most players do).
I never wave a sub in unless I am looking directly at the table and the sub.
I think the rule is BS for a player entering illegally and a T being handed out. If a player enters just blow it dead and make the player wait for the next dead ball.
Problem is, coaches barely know the rules let alone players. I'm not disappointed at all with the way it was handled. The thing that made the situation worse than it should have been is earlier in the 2nd half a player fouled out. Home book at 5 fouls and the visiting book had 4 fouls.
Then when the V team called timeout and assistant walked over and looked at the home scorekeeper and said in a vary snarky tone, "We do still have a timeout don't we?"
That irritated me the way he spoke to the woman keeping book as his tone was uncalled for. (Later after the game as I was leaving the guy doing the scoreboard said he had in the board only 4 fouls for the player but quickly took it down when he heard of the error.
All in all, I wasn't comfortable with the game but it was incredibly sloppy and the V team coaches were way to irritated and upset with no better of a team they had on the floor.
It was unfortunate the way the 2nd half went for them, but everything was done within the rules and I slept okay last night.
Thanks for the input everyone.
