If the sub checked in before the first forn then the official probably made a mistake and thought the sub checked in after the first horn.

I honestly can't tell you when she checked in relative to the horn, but there were at least 30 seconds from the time she got to the table until the ball was inbounded. Both teams were still in their huddles when she reported and they slowly broke the huddle, returned their chairs to the sideline and then got ready for a throw-in.. It seemed silly to make someone wait because it happens all the time that a sub will run up to the table to report while the ball is just about to be handed to someone for a throw-in (after a violation or foul) or they run up to the table just before the second FT is made and they are allowed to enter. Quite possibly the rule was administered correctly, but even so, it seems silly to make someone wait for the next dead ball.
