This happened in a game last week. A-1 has blood. The coach seeing that the official is going to send A-1 off the floor sends A-6 to the table for A-1. The official signals A-6 into the game. A coach then sees that A-1 only has the skinned his knee and then takes a time out. We get ready to put the ball into play and A-1 is on the floor. The other official goes over and tells the coach that A-1 cant return to the floor until the clock has started and A-6 needs to come back onto the floor. The coach isnt to happy and wants to know why we didnt tell him that before he took the time out (he never said anything other then time out). Well after the other team shoot two and got the ball and the coach had a seat next to A-1 the game went on.

Seems overly officious if you ask me. Let A6 come out, get A1 back in & play.

Coach A tried to save the timeout by sending A6 in for A1....thinking that A1 wouldn't have been ready anyway. He made that judement. He doesn't get the benefit of putting A1 back in after realizing that A1 was really OK. They either get to sub or take the timeout.
