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

 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. | 
| 
 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). |

 That's not what was asked, though. |

 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. |

 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. |
