And if there's one player from each team that has to be bought back in, why are the TO's concurrent? Why not successive? If Coach A decides to buy his player back in and then Player A is ready, so A's TO is about over, and then after that Coach B decides to buy his player back in, and asks for a TO, is it too late? At that point, if player B isn't ready yet, can Coach B at that point have as much of the 60 as it takes to get B ready?

I'm just not gittin' it, here.
You need to get both coaches' intentions before granting any timeouts. If A decides to take the timeout and B does not, then B needs to provide a substitute before the timeout begins for A. Once that player has been subbed for, they cannot reenter the court until the clock has run and stopped again.
So, it is too late for B at that point, he has already subbed for his player.
SO, I've got A1 and B1 with blood. Stop the game, get both coaches together, get their intentions, get sub for any player that won't be bought back in, grant any to's, but the whole to isn't used if the bloody player is ready early. Is this right?

And does any of this apply to injury? Is it the same routine?
