Player not reporting in before entering the game

He came to the X, you waved him in. He reported.

I don't see myself ever calling a T in this situation.

I whistle and beckon in all my subs. If I see someone heading to the table, I will frequently whistle/beckon them in a few steps from the X. I once had a scorer tell me that I couldn't do that. I think my response was something like, "You're forgetting who the referee is, I think."

The scorer just has to get the number. There is no specific way required.
