We had our state rules clinic today. The blood/injury rule change was the first thing he discussed. In a nutshell:
Whether it takes 15 seconds or 15 minutes to remove the player from the court, the coach can request a TO and keep the player in the game.
If at the end of the TO, the player is unable to play, the coach may subsitute for him/her, even though the 45 second warning horn has sounded. No other substitution can be made by either team.
If two teammates are injured, 1 TO buys both of them a ticket back into the game.
If both teams have a player injured, such as Padgett's post from a couple of days ago, each team would have to use a TO to keep their player in the game.
The coach can burn an excessive TO to keep the player in the game.
