Time Out for Injury

That terminology is what our RI has said and I also believe that’s how it was stated (or titled) in the Basketball Guide two years ago.

Tanner,

Those words are exactly how it was discribed in the literature. It was used to help people understand the rule much better.

Peace

Tanner,
I don't recall what the NFHS Preseason Guide said. I'll have to go find mine and look. I can't speak to what your RI said, other than to state that if those are the words you used then he chose poorly.
However, I can tell you that it was not written that way in either 2002-03 or 2004-05 when the rule was first put in and then clarified. All of the references in the NFHS Rules Books, including the current rule 3-3-6 Note, say "keep" or "remain in the game".

Noted! Thanks Nevada.... guessing you have the night off too?!

Yes, I have my first game of the season tomorrow night.

Also, it was not my intent to hassle you, just to try to help. Frequently precision is our best friend when attempting to deal with a tough rules situation.
