substitution question

[rcwilco]

I still am unclear about a bleeding player. If a coach grabbed a shirt and the player threw it on can he stay in? If I tell the player about it, does that he mean he must stay out and a sub must come in? I read rule and case book and could not find this addressed, (whcih probably means it was right in front of me and I missed it). Thanks.

First off, if the coach tosses him a shirt and he changes it right there, it is a technical foul for removing his shirt.

That said, if you direct a player to leave the court for blood, he must leave, unless the coach buys him back in with a time out. If he buys him in, the player must be ready to go by the end of the time-out period.

Some here might find fault with your phrasing.
