throw-in/illegal entry/technical

[StripesOhio]

Sorry, I should have clarified. I meant on a throw-in, not ball on the floor.

Come on Mark, don't treat us like we're all arrogant.

The principle is the same. A clever coach could use this to his advantage. Last second, team A starts to run their play. Coach B gets a look at what they're trying to do. B1 steps onto the court. Play stops. It's like having a free timeout, at a time when team B could not call timeout.

JAR,
Um, you would need the asistance of the timer. The, uh, clever coach would still need to convince the timer to sound the horn while running the sub to the table.

In your situation, the player stepping onto the court from the bench would result in a technical without the benefit of said horn. Bad coach....

Well, he didn't specify in the above statement, but I guess that was what was intended, right Stripes? You mean only when the horn is improperly sounded you prefer to redo the throw-in and make the sub wait. This is a possibiility. Or just eliminate the horn altogether for this purpose. Let the official see the sub and sound the whistle and beckon. Coach will be yelling "Sub!" whether the horn sounds or not.
