Substitution Question

[chseagle]

Rule 3-1a says:

"A substitute who desires to enter shall report to the scorer, giving
his/her number.
a. Between quarters, at halftime and during a time-out, the substitute must report or be in position to report to the scorer, prior to the warning signal which is sounded 15 seconds before the end of the intermission or the
time-out."

However in your case, no warning horn, it sounds as if Rule 2-3 shall be applied:

"The referee shall make decisions on any points not specifically covered in the rules."

I am not seeing anything in the rules covering what should be done if no warning horn/signal is sounded.

Coach says that the first horn had never sounded and we should not deny her entry. I am certain that about a minute had expired, the timer just neglected to sound the horn. Should the substitution been allowed?
