What constitutes a sub reporting?

I think the scorer was just uptight because it was a "big game" and they were playing the team that is usually at the top of the conference.

Sounds like the scorer was fishing for a T.

Noobs: this is an obscure reference and a joke.

Personally, I'm happy if they at least come down to where my timer partner and I sit. I even put an X down on the floor at the star of each year. All too many times, teams will just have their subs kneel at the far end of the table and unless we spot them there, we don't know they want to enter game.

Hmm, a local well respected college official I know once told my former college table crew that subs had to be at the table and that a coach or player calling out "sub! sub! sub!" doesn't get them in the game. This isn't volleyball after all. Now if the offical wants to let them in early, I'm sure not going to argue.

I'd rather not hold up the game and I'm sure not going to put the ball in play while a sub is walking to the table. I'll pick other battles.

OTOH, if my partner is ready to administer the throw-in, I'm not waiting on the sub.

That's when I would blow my whistle and beckon, even if the sub is still a few steps from the X.
