Replacement Player

[Lotto]

If the coach stays on the sideline and just goes down to the endline, then he/she is still in the coaching box. Play on.

If the coach comes around the corner off the sideline so that he/she is standing behind the basket, then the player needs to be replaced unless the coach takes a timeout.

Rule 3-14: A player who has been injured to the extent that the coach or any other bench personnel is beckoned and/or comes on to the playing court shall be directed to leave the playing court once the extent of the injury has been ascertained unless a timeout is requested by and granted to his or her team.

No penalty to the coach in either case.
