injury Ft question

"Nowitzki shot two free throws left-handed immediately after the play. By taking the free throws -- Nowitzki made 1 of 2 -- he remained eligible to return to the game."

Is there such a rule in HS or college? Me personally, if a player can't take the FTs because he is injured but can return later that would be fine. Maybe some 4th quarter restrictions.

A player that has to be subbed due to injury, by rule, may return after the clock has properly started (just like any other sub).

They can come back too... but they gotta have the Doc's ok.

Don't these guys where mouth guards? Basketball is a contact sport. I wear mine during pickup games. They protect not just the teeth, but the lips, cheeks, and tongue. They also help protect against concussions and jaw fractures.

In MA the MIAA has gone from mandating mouth guards for basketball to only recommending their use. My daughter played in high school when they first mandated mouth guards and while there was a level of protection, I also witnessed kids who put a mouth guard directly into their mouths after dropping it on the court, kids taking it out during time outs or stoppages or before free throws then handling the ball or touching the hands of a teammate, and of less importance medically, kids trying to talk on defense and having it sound like a unique language.

Under NBA rules a player is not allowed back in the game if they must shoot free throws and can not unless the foul was unsportsmanlike. Under NFHS and NCAA no restrictions are in place.

According to the ESPN link, Carl Landry has lost five teeth, on three occasions, playing NBA basketball. You would think that he would learn to use a mouth guard after losing the first tooth. That's what did it for me.
