Interesting situation I heard about last night. It didn't happen in my game, however in a fellow official that I am good friends with. The most common answer is probably going to check with your state, however I just wanted some input.

Here's the situation: (You are the Referee)
Team A is down 10 points at the half. Coming back onto the floor for warm-ups before the second half, Coach A comes to you and tells you that 4 of their players are breaking out in hives and wants the game suspended.

5-4 describes it fairly well, but what would you do?


In the sitution I just described, lucky the school nurse was in attendance and confirmed to the officials that the players could play and finish the game, therefore they didn't have to make a choice. I guess she thought that some of the opposing players were wearing tanning lotion that was getting on the other players, therefore causing them to break out.
