I, too, prefer the subs to tap in, whether the player they are subbing is down or not, but not if a goal has been scored (in 3 v 3 no one need to tap back in after a goal).
My guess would be that if you stop time after goals (without allowing time to be wasted - if you want a drink, or to talk tactics, or have some problem with your bike, mallet, helmet, clothing, etc get off court immediately, that's what subs are for), and make subbing players tap in when game is in play, it will make subbing a lot more comprehensible. Most teams will look to sub after goals, and only sub in play in emergencies, ie mechanicals etc.
