I would give the time out back too...much in similar fashion if an opposing coach called a timeout for an injured player on the other team.

I would not. If a player is hurt that an opposing coach calls a timeout then the officials haven't done their job and that's a whole different matter.
In the stitch above the timeout WILL stand.

Time After Time ...
How many times have we heard a player say, "Time out. I need to tie my shoe", during a clock stopped, dead ball. Do we always charge the time out because the words, "time out", were stated?

Given that it was granted in the OP, with out being called for an injury (at the time), I think it needs to stand. |

Secondly, by the book, why is the timeout not granted in this case. Clock stopped. Dead ball. What rule prevents an official from granting a timeout here.

From the OP, I think the timeout should stand.
I've never seen a player who is truly hurt request a timeout - they typically are more worried about what's wrong with them and know the officials will shut it down. |

Common Sense ...
Quote:
However, "as defined in the rules", how is a player in this situation not "defined" as requesting a timeout. From NFHS Rule 5: "Time-out occurs and the clock, if running, shall be stopped when an official: Grants a player’s request for a time-out, such request being granted only when: The ball is dead, unless replacement of a disqualified, or injured player(s),or a player directed to leave the game is pending, and a substitute(s) is available and required." Also: "Exception: No time-out is charged if: the player’s request results from displaced eyeglasses, or lens." The NFHS has a rule that officials don't charge a timeout when a player requests a timeout to deal with eyeglasses. The NFHS doesn't make an exception for such a request in the case of an untied shoe, or an injury. Common sense tells me to not charge a timeout for eyeglasses, untied shoes, or injuries, but the rules, by the book, don't seem to back that up. And, by the way, these are all realistic game situations. In thirty years I've had dozens of players, from middle school, up to high school varsity, request a timeout for eyeglasses, untied shoes, or injuries, actually using the word, "Timeout", and in none of those cases did I charge that player's team with a timeout.

A-1 inbounds to A-2, near Team A's bench. Right then, Coach A says to me, "Stop the clock. There's an shoe untied." The coach got nothing from me but an odd look. Play continued.
