What constitutes a sub reporting?

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.
