Then the floor and bench area had to be cleaned.... Lucky for us, the player was elbowed by a teammate.

 I don't disagree with this -- matter of fact, it happened last night and the coach informed me that the sub was already in before I could start the clock.
But if he's turning from concerned coach to howler monkey, I'm starting the clock and making it less easy for him to earn himself a seat.
