Subbing Player on a IW

[ODJ]

Seems the timer had the IW (IH) to get the sub in on a made shot. Oops.
Horn sounds, I'm killing action anyway (hope not during a fast break.)
Ball's dead, let the kid in, and don't chat up the crowd.

This is incorrect procedure. See 2.11.3: "If the
scorer signals while the ball is live, the official should ignore the signal if a
scoring play is in progress. Otherwise, the official may stop play to determine the
reason for the scorer’s signal."

Right. And, I'm goign to know (I hope) that it was for the sub, so I'm going to ignore it and tell the teams to play on. If they stop because of the horn, then I'll blow the whistle and get the sub in.

If I know it's for a sub, I ignore it and tell the players to keep playing. Once an official blows the whistle, however, the sub will come in. I can't say how I'd respond to the crowd here, because the ref was wrong not to let the sub in, the fan was right even if he was inappropriate.
