substitute not reporting in

There is a lot of good preventative stuff here (like not waiving substitutes in until they are at ... or really, really close to ... the X on the floor in front of the scorer), but I write to urge, URGE, that no official gives a technical foul to a player who was beckoned onto the court by an official. We may have issues with the table by doing that, but I cannot see any justification for penalizing the substitute-now-player.

Agree completely. Only assessed a T for illegal substitution twice that I can remember - both times for player entering without reporting/being beckoned after being previously warned.
