Rather tell the coach the situation and let him either give you a sub or call a TO to hopefully repair the situation.
A little less hasty to DEMAND a sub is probably the answer. Am I missing your point?

Tony (I mean the Down Town one),
The rules direct us to have a replacement for blood or injury. This is why there is a new rule for allowing a coach to buy back a player into the game with a timeout. We are not required to just sit there until the situation is taken care of. If that is the case, they would be allowed to fake injuries to stop play. Get the player out of the game and move on.
TH,
The only way a player can remain in the game is if his/her team calls it and the situation is taken care of during "their" timeout. There might be a modification to this rule by next year, to cover this situation. But we will have to wait and see.
Peace
