And what's the big deal about just letting the sub in? If the ball isn't in the hands of the thrower-in, I *want* the scorer hitting the horn.
Unless a team is obviously working the "staggered sub" thing to delay the game or to intentionally annoy me, the sub comes in.
Matter of fact, if there's a sub heading towards the table, I consider it good game management to wait and whistle the sub in. Your partner's last two looks before administering the throw-in should be to the table and then to you.
Most of my games are at the high school varsity level -- at lower levels I'm *definitely* not sweating this.
