Shifting gears slightly, how many (if any) single subs (one after the other) will you allow to come to the table and into the game during a dead ball before you make them wait? I'm talking about a coach sending A1, then the other coach B1, then A2, then B2 OR A1, A2, A3....

This is a game managment issue. I like to tell the coaches during our meet and greet - "Have your players ready at the table. I don't want an ongoing parade."

I don't have a set rule, but put a stop to it fast.

From the IAABO Manual (Page 85): Substitution Procedures And Guidelines: 4. Substitution requests shall not be honored when the ball is about to become live.

More tolerant than I used to be, although I'll whistle the subsequent subs in well before they reach the table to minimize the delay.

I usually yell "SUB". If after the second yell they don't come in, I'll yell "HEY - I'M NOT ORDERING A SANDWICH HERE". That usually gets their attention.

Isn't that what Ensign Charles Parker used to yell to Lieutenant Commander Quinton McHale?

Billy - From The Official's Manual
2.4.6 Substitutions:

A. To be acknowledged for entry, the substitute must be properly reported to
the scorer and ready for entry, at which time the timer’s horn is sounded.

(the last part is for the Eagle of course).

So, by the players constantly coming off the bench, it could be said they have not properly reported and therefore are not ready.

I thought that saying was from "Down Periscope"

I'm rather fond of the saying "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead", myself

No, it's what Ralph Kramden used to yell at Ed Norton. Oh wait, that was "BUS", which is "SUB" backwards.

In that case, you might have the scorer yelling at you. I was taught as a scorer, not to allow players in the game until they are at the table in front of me & reported in the book.

However I rarely am scorer any more & have realized that at times the game gets fast paced, so to heck with that teaching.

I just make sure now that the player is recorded either as soon as at the table or while they're going onto the court.

I've never gotten to the point where I deny a sub. But I do hate it when coaches do that.

In cases like these I usually make a comment loud enough for the coaches to hear, and it usually works. Something along the lines of "Anyone else you want to send in or can those of us on the floor start the game again?" "Anyone else? The water's fine"
