It's modifying "free" and "timeout". Coaches can call the players over, but on the first horn, I'm in the huddle telling the coach I need a sub NOW. That usually means I'm right in there, since notifying the player usually takes about 5 seconds. The coach doesn't want that second horn going off before a player is at the table. That's the key difference, to me -- I will give a little leeway on timeouts because we have the resumption of play procedure if I need it.
