BV Playoff game... A1 gets cut and is bleeding..right before the discovery of the cut A3 fouls B1 on a 2 shot foul. Before the FT attempts, A1 is directed to leave the court..Coach of A calls a full TO. Resuming after the TO, B1 takes his first FT, A1 is fixed up and is allowed back in the game for the 2nd FT.

Question: Was allowing A1 back in the game at this point legal?

Question #2: If A1 jersey is full of blood, can he wear another jersey with a different number on it when he returns to play?

Thanks!

No, if he leaves the game, he cannot reenter until after the clock has run.

Yes, as long as the scorer is notified of the change.

#1) Not until time comes off the clock. A1 was not ready after the timeout, so they would have to wait just like a normal substitution in that situation.

#2) Yes. They just have to inform you as the official and the scorer the change was made. Heck I would even suggest this if the blood was that abundant.

Peace

#1..That was my thought that the "Sit a Tick" applies...I am sad to say playoff officials in advanced rounds allowed this sub between free throws:(

Some officials do not pay attention to details. It happens, but should not totally surprise you.

Peace

But Not The Opposing Coach, Interesting ???
 

... and an official.
