I just got back from a discussion on our refresher exam, one question a lot of people had was on a rule about a player who is bleeding and a time out.
A-1 is bleeding and is directed to the bench. Team B calls a timeout. After the time out A-1 is ready to return to the game. The official tells A-1 that he must wait until the next dead ball.
I undersand that this is correct. My question, and that of many others, was, why the big deal over who calls the timeout? The I understand the rule to be that if team A calls the time out, the player may return if ready. Why not if team B calls the time out?
Again, I understand the rule and will enforce it if it comes up but just curious as to the thought process used by the powers that be.
