Later in the same game, same setup, Team A makes its second free-throw after a shooting foul. Team B is taking the ball out of bounds. The coach from Team A yells "Sub" (yes, we're very state-of-the-art in this league), and my partner allows the substitution. The coach from Team B argues this is improper as they are taking the ball out of bounds. Is this proper or not?
Thanks for your attention to this question.

Depends on what you mean by "Team B is taking the ball out". If B clearly has started the throw-in then it's too late in both cases. Otherwise proper and common procedure to call a timeout or sub after the last made free throw. Complication is exactly when the throw-in starts is more-or-less a judgement call. If B has the ball & is heading out of bounds for the throw-in I'll grant the timeout or bring in the sub, usually.
