When I do sound the warning horn earlier than normal, due to one team being ready to play, the time remaining is normally 10 or more secs. until the warning horn (although I said in earlier post & example within 5 secs.), there is still time being allowed for subs.
I only do this during the 60 sec. TOs & it rarely happens (once or twice a season).

Here's the problem; by sounding the warning horn early, you're telling the officials that 45 seconds have elapsed and they are not going to allow a sub if they're following procedure. They have no way of knowing you're 10 seconds ahead of pace.
There is no reason to sound the horn just because one team has come out of the huddle.
DON'T SOUND THE HORN UNTIL IT'S THE PROPER TIME.
