Substitution Mechanic

[Hoosier]

In Tennessee, we are having the administering official bring in the subs unles you are already at the table reporting a foul, and then that official can bring in the subs. It works OK on some games depending on if the official remembers. Usually if I am table side on 3 person or trail in 2 person and not administering the throw in I ask my partner if they want them to come in. We are also trying to strictly enforce making the subs be at the "X" on the dead ball before bringing them in. The administering official is supposed to "tweet", and beckon in the subs. Any sub at the table when the whistle is blown is allowed in, anyone not there has to wait to the next dead ball. This has helped in getting the ball back in play and the coaches are getting used to it now. The only thing I don't like is if I call a violation and then have to administer the throw in, I have to grab my whistle and put it back in my mouth because I am in the habit of spitting it out right away.
