Delay for Loose Contact; Subs

[mick]

A1 is fouled in the act of shooting and misses the shot. After the foul is reported, A1 has a contact lens out of place and has trouble getting it back in. How long can A1 have to try to get her lens back in before the official requires a substitution?

Also, during the delay for A1's contact lens--with two free throws to come--Team B wishes to substitute. Are the Team B subs required to wait until the contact lens issue is resolved and the first free throw is take before being allowed into the game?

Often, this works out on it's own:

The contact is not found;

The contact is damaged;

The eye is watering;

The solution is in the locker room.
Like Rut said, "judgment"; do what feels good to get a sub, or not.

If the clock is stopped, bring in any subs when the entering subs won't be causing additional confusion to the eye lens.
