That said. It doesn't mean terminate it, or they would say terminate it and start over. The wording in the NCAA rule is identical, with the addition of the prohibition on passing. That prohibition is essentially redundant, but it shows the intent of the "allowance."

I don't think there's such a thing as a suspended count in any rule set of basketball. You are reading too much into it.
