No, the team could take a 2nd time-out to provide even more time if A1 needed it. In other words they still don't have to sub for him yet. Sorry that my earlier post neglected to mention that.

BTW, please refrain from using the words in red. That kind of coach-speak only serves to perpetuate basketball myths.

A1 never left the game. He has been a player the entire time. No other team member has substituted for him, right? So why does he need to be bought "back into the game?"

All the time-out does is allow A1 to remain in the game.
