I have to agree with Nevada on this. The Casebook does allow the coach to have his full allotted time for a time out after addressing an injury. Since there is no case study for the same scenario at intermission, I've got to believe the same scenario applies. The referees should stay on the floor until all members of both teams are in the locker room. I would have the table not start the halftime clock until the player is removed from the floor carried or on his/her own power and we start for our locker room.

Still doesn't solve the issue though. When the team doctor writes out a note for you on the spot are you going to allow the kid to start the 3rd quarter?

If he is a Doctor, and the note is more than scribbled on a napkin (say on a perscription pad), we as officials are not members of the AMA. We have received the only verification we need. If the player is endangered, we are not responsible, and 2-8-5 says the player can play.
