I had a very similar thing happen last Friday.
Due to schedule changes (and no notification) I'm at the gym watching a Girls Frosh/Varsity before my Boys Frosh game. I too am right behind the scorer's table. Between two free throws they brought in a substitute. Turns out the girl going out was not in the book! After the free throw the other coach challenged the player who just left. The officials assessed a T!
After the game (or during half time -- don't remember) I asked them about the sub. (I thought it was on the girl going IN, but learned it was on the girl going OUT!) I next asked them when it could be penalized. Once they began to realized that they blew it, I explained that once the ball was given to the shooter for the second free throw, then it was too late to penalize for the girl going IN. It was way too late for the one going out.
It helps watching others' games -- we all learn.
