Buying him back in

Back to the injury thing again. 10th boys last night, and V41 gets injured in the eye on a foul by H32. After I call the coach on the floor and he gets attended to by the trainer, V41 looks like he can continue. I inform the coach that if he wants his player to stay in the game, he will have to use a timeout.
He agrees to use the TO, and I inform the bench and all the players start heading to their benches.

After a couple seconds of yapping by the assistants, the head coach asks me if he can just sub for the player. I tell him, "sure, but you're still using the timeout."

He wanted to keep the TO, because his team was down and mounting a comeback.
Was I correct to not let him change his mind at that point?

Had you reported the TO to the table yet? If, so I would say he is stuck with the TO. If not, I would quickly have him get the sub to the table get the other team turned around with a quick explanation to the coach and get the FT's administered without delay. Just how I would most likely handle the situation.

Think long, think wrong.

He asked, and he received.

Life is a one-way zipper.

You did well, Adam.

Injured player requires sub or TO to buy back in.
Coach informed of the option and chooses the TO.
TO granted by official.

Sounds like only thing left to do is ask if he wants a Full or 30. Curious, lets say you grant the "take back" and go with the change to the sub option; are you prepared to WHACK the other coach when he begins his tirade?

Ok, I am making this my official crusade on this forum:
PLEASE DO NOT EVER USE THE TERM "BUY BACK IN" FOR THE BLOOD/INJURTY TIME-OUT RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Say keep or remain in the game. Thanks.
