These appear to be about "regular", that is, non concussive, injuries. Are you saying that these case plays also apply to concussions, assuming that in all cases a health care professional clears such players?

*3.3.6 SITUATION A: A1 is injured and play is stopped to permit the athletic
trainer or physician to administer aid. (a) A1 is removed from the court and
replaced within less than one minute; or (b) the injury is such that the physician
will not allow A1 to be removed from the court until being certain it is prudent to
do so. After approximately five minutes, A1 is moved from the court. RULING: No
time-out is charged in either (a) or (b), regardless of the amount of time involved.
The intent of the rule is to require an injured player to be removed without charging
a team with a 60-second time-out, regardless of how much time is consumed
prior to removal. A team may call a time-out if they wish to keep the player (if
able) in the game provided the replacement interval for the substitution has not
began. (5-8-2a)

*3.3.6 SITUATION B: A1 appears to be injured and an official properly halts
play and the Team A coach rushes onto the court to check A1. However, A1 is OK
and seems ready to play within a few seconds. RULING: A1 must be removed as
the coach came onto the court. A1 may remain in the game if the coach does not
come on the court and A1 is ready to play immediately. If the coach or other
bench personnel have come onto the court, the player must be replaced. There is
no set amount of time as to what is “immed iately,” but it should not involve more
than a few seconds and it must be without the coach, athletic trainer or doctor
being beckoned and/or entering the court. The coach may also call a time-out to
keep the player in the game provided the replacement interval for the substitution
has not began. (10-4-2)

*3.3.6 SITUATION C: A1 is injured and bench personnel are beckoned onto the
court. Once A1 has been removed from the court, the official notifies Team A’s
head coach that a replacement is required. The coach acknowledges the notification
and the official then instructs the timer to begin the 20-second replacement
interval because a substitute is not made available immediately. Team A’s head
coach then requests a time-out to keep A1 in the game. RULING: The time-out
request must be made when the official informs the coach that a replacement is
required. Once the 20-second interval has begun and A1’s replacement is pending,
a time-out shall not be granted. Once A1 is replaced by a substitute, Team A
may request and be granted a time-out, if desired. (2-12-5 Note; 3-3-6 Note 2;
5-8-3b)
