I saw #2 done in a varsity girls playoff game last season. I thought it was odd, but I may have been one of maybe half a dozen people who noticed it.

In NCAA-W, a coach is allowed to call a shortened time-out to just let subs in the game. I wonder if the refs were using that mechanic? The signal is kind of a travel signal held above the head. The team is charged a time-out, and the subs just come in the game, without either team going to their benches. I believe the men have a similar rule and signal.

In ms games, it certainly makes sense to let the kids in to play, even without a timeout. Just make sure they understand it's not like hockey, where they can change on the fly.
