Any official who has done more than a couple of games will be checking the table for subs during dead balls. One starts to tend checking when they get tired of coaches and the table yelling "SUBS!" Heck, when we get really good, we even start notice them while going up and down in transition.

At least once a year, I have someone on the table tell me I *cannot* bring subs in until they've properly reported and are squatting on the X. Right.

+1 on all of this. I check constantly.
