Well, I haven't seen that before...

I realized after sounding the horn, that it should not of sounded.

I'm just mad at myself for sounding the horn, & also mad at the coach for yelling "sub", as the ball was being put into play.

Yes they followed dead ball procedure as soon as the IH happened.

I did explain to the officials that due to the VC yelling "sub" as the ball was being put into to play was the reason behind the IH. They did remind the coach when subs are allowed in. All I got from them was a thank you for the explanation of why the IH happened.

The official was in the motion of handing the ball to the player.
