Marty, If they're at the table, and we have a dead ball with the clock stopped, I'm letting 'em in.

...As opposed to a dead ball with the clock running, or a live ball with the clock stopped? ;)

OK, so what you're saying is that they can sub in all of the instances I questioned (ball dead). <u> But, you do stop the clock after made free-throw</u> if there is a sub for the shooter. Otherwise, if there is no sub for the shooter you do not blow whistle for any other subs, correct? You are helping me to clear up a disagreement. Thanks

Marty,
The clock is already stopped. Let 'em all in.

Precisely. My only point was that as long as the situation fits for subbing, I'm letting them sub.

After the FT's the clock should already be stopped. If there are subs at the table after the FT is made and before the throwin team has the ball at their disposal, ALL subs may come in even if there is not one for the shooter.

When the ball becomes dead (made FT in this case) and the clock is stopped, subs may come in. The only exceptions are before the 1st of 2 FTs or the 1st/2nd of 3 where they wait until just before the last FT.
