Have a sub ready but don't send him to the table until 20 seconds. However, if he reports and the coach then calls him over and his players, a semi-on court timeout, are you then going to start the game?


So for the Fts if the coach wants to keep talking to them, just shoot them. The opposing team is shooting. Sounds good to me.

These are two separate situations, right?

1. Yes, he can do it, but if he holds the sub he risks that horn going off. That sub needs to be at the table when the horn goes, not on his way, or waiting to go. Coach can use the 20 seconds as he sees fit, but this isn't a TO where we give a bit of cushion at the end.

With the FTs, I'm assuming this is a separate situation with the time expired and FTs to be shot. No one lines up, so B coach can have all 5 players by the bench and start talking. A coach can have the 4 who aren't shooting.
