Juulie, Chuck is correct. The injured player must leave immediately and the sub must shoot the FTs. There's shouldn't be any mised answers on that question.

The smart thing for the coach to do would be to keep the player on the floor until the bleeding is stopped, then, move him to the bench and use the TO. No problem this way.

What if the coach is summoned, and the opposing team calls a TO. Can the player stay in the game??

#1, the timeout would not be granted until the injured player had left the floor. I don't know that a specific rule addresses it but I wouldn't grant it until the player was able to leave the floor, since we don't normally report a TO until all players jave reached their bench. It would be unfair to Team A to grant a TO to Team B while COach A was administering aid to a player. Further, since play is dead anyway, why would B burn a TO?
#2, once the player is off the floor, a TO can be granted to either team but the injured player's team must use a TO and he must be ready to return when the TO ends. If a player from both teams injured, both teams would have to burn a TO to keep their player in the game.
