It really is not that hard.

I agree. It's not that hard.

Ruling: The intermission should begin when A5 is removed from the court. No substitute is required when A5 is ready to play to start the second quarter.
When A5 is not ready, a substitute should report before the warning horn or a timeout may be requested by Team A to keep A5 in the game.

If the injured guy is not required to sit out because of another convenient stoppage of the game, why should the bleeding guy have to sit out?

The game was stopped then no matter what. The intermission is essentially a free timeout to both teams.

True. And if A has called a timeout, it is a free timeout for team B.
