Injured Player, No Subs

[bob jenkins]

A few days ago, we had a question on how to handle the situation where a team with only 5 players has one of them injured, or blood on the uniform.

At the time, I referenced a 2000 or 2001 interp, from memory.

I found the interp today -- it's from2002-2003, Situation 5: Team A is playing with five players, but has no remaining substitutes available when one of the players has an asthma attack. The coach is beckoned onto the floor. RULING: The player must leave teh game unless a time-out is requested and granted to Team A with the player being ready to resume by the end of the time-out. The team may continue with fewer than five players if there are no substitutes available. An injured / illplayer may return to the game after recovery.
