If you see a player take his shirttail out during a
timeout/injury stoppage/other break in the action pause, would you direct him to leave the game? |

And for the last time, I think my interpretation is a clear common sense application of the rule which is supported. |
You notice that A1 is bleeding and stop the game. The coach indicates the s/he'll use a TO to try to keep A1 in the game.
Just after you report the TO, you notice B1 is also bleeding. Will you let B1 stay in the game without a TO from Coach B? |
Quote:
You call a foul on B1 for holding A1 in the post. Just after the whistle, you realize A2 has been standing in the lane for 11 seconds. Them's the breaks. |
Quote:
Officials stop the game with 30 seconds left in the 4th quarter to tend to a clock issue. As both teams walk to the area in front of their bench you notice A1 has blood on his elbow. While officials are still tending to the clock issue A1's trainer stops bleeding and puts a bandage on the elbow. Are you going to insist that time has to run off of the clock before A1 is allowed to "re-enter" the game? |
Sounds Good ...

If play is already stopped for an extended period due to a charged timeout, player injury, or another situation then I'm essentially telling the coach to get the blood situation corrected not directing the player to leave the game. The intent and purpose of the rule is to address the blood situation with as little disruption of the game as possible. If it can be addressed during the course of stoppage for another reason then what purpose is served by insisting that the player must sit out? Nobody has answered that question. |

As you are walking to the table, I point out to you that my opponent's point guard is bleeding from his elbow. You tell me you will take care of it and you tell the other coach about the blood. At the end of the timeout, both point guards are ready to go, but you have only required me to use a timeout to keep my player in the game. The other coach just got a freebie from you because you won't handle it according to rule. And you don't think that is an advantage for that other coach? |
Quote:
He didnt have to use a TO because as a crew we did not discover the blood on his player until after an awarded TO. But as JAR said those are the breaks. And if the blood is discovered prior to the TO being awarded then you could consider it a stoppage to address both situations simultaneously, in which case both coaches would be required to take a TO to keep their players in the game. |
3-3-7 Notes...you are making stuff up.

In your situation the player the coach pointed out after the timeout has not been directed to leave the game. Casebook 3.3.7 Situation C refers to blood being discovered SIMULTANEOUSLY. That's not the case in your scenario. |

4.34.1 SITUATION: Team A requests a time-out; at the conclusion of the time-out as the teams are returning to the court, A1 curses at the game officials. RULING: A1 is assessed a technical foul. The foul will count as one of A1's fouls toward disqualification and toward the team foul count. COMMENT: During a time-out, A1 is considered a player and not bench personnel. They are only BP during intermission. |
