The scenario you described above would only be legal ONLY if Team B had no full to's
available. Play would resume at the end of the full to granted to team A.

BTW, been almost a week for you? Any DTs or other side effects of withdrawal?

COMPLETE DOO-DOO!!!

The requirement to use a full time-out, if one is available, is for a coach's request regarding a correctable error. That is detailed in 5-11-3.

That article has nothing at all to do with injured/bleeding players.

When the NFHS introduced the rule to allow injured/bleeding players to remain in the game with a time-out back in 2002-03, they included a comment in the back of the book. The first sentence of that comment was: "This change permits a player who is required to leave the game for blood or injury to remain in the game if the team calls a time-out (60 or 30-second) and the situation can be corrected by the end of the time-out."
