They likely changed the rule wording and forgot to change case play wording....or changed rule wording by mistake.....
if the player is ready in the example i gave and the coach doesn't want to come out i'm not going to make the player leave or burn a TO because i waived my arm early....thx

I'm slow to beckon. I have even put a hand up and tried to hold the coach back a second (not long) if I think the player can recover so the coach isn't forced to choose between a sub and a TO.
If I've beckoned the coach, I'm following the rule whether he comes out or not.
