Easy to see how. When I'm supposed to sound my whistle, i.e., after a timeout, sometimes some of the offensive players will start their inbounds play, setting screens, V-cuts, etc. on the whistle, while others will wait for the inbounder to say, "Go", slap the ball, etc. That half second lag time can screw up a good inbounds play, but that's the fault of the players, and coaching staff, not the officials.
