"Coach, we're not having this conversation, but before you write us up I'd suggest you read that rule book closely..."

Why would there be a need to call an officials timeout, if the player got off the court while you were reporting the foul to the table. Clearly the coach knew that the player had to come out, so wouldn't he send a sub to the table automaticly? Maybe I am mis understanding the situation.

No, you seem to be understanding it perfectly. The coach, however....

Thanks Snaqwells. I was just double checking!

Actually, the coach is entitled to a 20-second replacement period for the injured player.
The coach may have wanted that, but didn't know the terminology or how to ask for it.

Also, there may be some blood on the floor that needs cleaning up.

Perhaps, but his later rules gaffe removes the benefit of the doubt I would have given him.

BTW, can you point me to the rule for the 20 second replacement period?

Never mind, found it. 10-5-3

I had the same thought, but since that didn't occur until later, how could the official have known that the coach was a clueless git at the time of the injury?
Plus, it seems that the officials were unaware of the injury and that there were only nine players on the floor.
Game awareness moment.

All true.
