Whistle for a sub?

[Mark Padgett]

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?

A person who can throw in a McHale's navy reference in a basketball officiating discussion board is OK by me!!!

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.
