M-NCAA Question
Regarding the new injured free throw shooter rule. Can the coach for the injured shooter buy him back in to shoot the free throws?
Ex. Player's left hand is injured on drive to the basket in the final seconds of the game. As player is leaving the floor coach would rather have the injured player shoot one handed than rely on his big man to shoot. Can the coach buy this player back in with a timeout? |

Play: A-1 is injured and the referee beckons the coach and/or the athletics trainer onto
the playing court to assist the injured player. Rather than replacing A-1, who is the team’s best free throw shooter, the coach from Team A requests a timeout. The official recognizes and grants the timeout. Is the official correct? Ruling: The coach from Team A correctly exercised his option of requesting a timeout and as a result, the official was correct in granting the timeout. However, since the status of A-1’s injury has not been determined, the referee shall instruct the official scorer to note which four players from Team A were on the playing court before the timeout was granted. At the end of the timeout, if it is determined that A-1 is unable to attempt his free throw(s), the coach from Team B shall select one of the four remaining players to attempt the free throw(s). That selection, once made, is final and inalterable. A-1 shall be replaced immediately after the final horn indicating the expiration of the timeout and Team B is allowed to counter with a substitution. Prior to the warning horn, any other substitution(s) must have reported to, or were in position to report to, the official scorer. However, their entry onto the playing court shall not be allowed until the coach from Team B has selected who shall attempt the free throw(s) for the injured player.
