Sub T or Team T?

IOW I don't track who is in and who is out. In most cases I notice when a player goes out to keep track of when they can come back in, but even then that is not 100% of the time. We cannot keep track of everything.

But if a player goes to check in AFTER the warning horn then he/she isn't coming in the game, if I notice this. The smart thing would be to not even check in and just enter. 99 out of 100 times no one will be the wiser.

So what are you doing during the time out? Here most games are 2 man mechanics, so the administrating official is at the half court line. It's extremely easy to watch the table during the timeout. Your going to know if someone tried to check in after the first horn, even with 3 man mechanics this can be done. I will agree that if they just come in straight from the bench to floor, it would be much harder to recognize.
