I guess we have to give them credit for interpreting a non-existent rule.
The rules never prohibit the player from returning regardless of the reason.
Shorthanded should be elaborated in NFHS, as I have said before.
Also, no wording whether the re-entry rule applies.
BUT, re-entry applies to the blood rule.
So, by this interpretation, a player can leave the lineup, return later. Then a second player can leave and return and so on. YUK!
