I know there would be some issues if this came to pass, but it could be fun to discuss it.

BTW - I really don't care how this would affect table personnel.
What's the issue with the rule as written...and what would this solve? I don't see this speeding up anything. If you stop play and the player is good to go without beckoning the coach, I feel that would be faster than stopping play, making sure the player is okay, then telling the coach we need a sub or god forgive, take an unnecessary timeout to buy them back in the game.
