Yes. All subs can come in after a timeout as long as they are checked in before the first horn. I would have considered them checked in if they were at the table before the first free throw. I'm trying to think of how big a deal this is anyway?

Coach might have a knucklehead who he doesn't want doing something stupid during the first free throw.

To the table, signalling accordingly: "We have a 30/60-second time out. White coach requested it. Start the clock, please. Subs, you're in."

Is this really correct procedure? What if the coach decides to pull the sub during the timeout? Who would you decide had to sit a tic?

If that sub is still at the table, after I've confirmed with my partner whose ball and where after the TO, and I've announced the TO to the table, then he hasn't been pulled.
