replacement interval

[Sco53]

NFHS Does the 20 second replacement interval apply when a player is required to leave the game due to wearing jewelry?

[Adam]

It's not addressed by rule, but do you seriously have a coach who is wanting this interval?

From the one case play I see the answer would be no. When it's discovered during the game, the player has to leave the game immediately.

2.4.5 SITUATION A:

Before the contest both coaches verify that their teams are legally equipped. In the third quarter A1 is discovered wearing a ring.

RULING: A1 must leave the game and remove the jewelry and may re-enter the game at the next substitution opportunity, but no penalty is assessed against A1 or the coach.

[Adam]

I think the question is what to do if the coach refuses.

The 20 second interval would be good, but it's not coded in the rule.

You could just issue the T when he makes it clear he doesn't intent to comply.

I think it *DOES* apply.

10-5-2 "The head coach shall replace a disqualified / injured player, or player directed to leave the game, within 20 seconds when a substitute is available.

[Adam]

Never mind, then.

One thing though, Bob. It says the HC has 20 seconds to replace the player but in the case play I cited there’s nothing about being able to use a TO to keep a player in the game when (s)he is wearing jewelry. Injury and/or blood, yes. It may be a difference of something a player can control (jewelry) as opposed to something they can’t (injury and/or bleeding).

Right. You can't use a TO to keep the player in the game in the case of jewelry.

That's not what was asked, though.

D'oh!

Would the replacement interval be given if no sub is available (so HC can talk with his remaining players)..?? This is a question from another discussion board.

No. NFHS 10-5-2. If no sub is available the coach does not need 20 seconds to replace his player.

There's the crux of the problem...and you've answered my question. Rule 10-5-2 says, "The head coach shall replace or remove a disqualified/injured player, or player directed to leave the game, within 20 seconds when a substitute is available."

There are some on the other discussion board that don't see any significance in the verbiage "...when a substitute is available.". What I'm getting from multiple sources is there are no other references that might clarify this issue for these non-believers. Thanks for the help AremRed.

...or a player who has been sent out because his jersey is untucked.
