The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.
A-1 is fouled hard and lands on the floor. The coach for Team A runs onto the floor to check on the status of the player. A-1 gets up quickly and is ready to play.
Handle the situation.
Although A-1’s injury was not serious enough to warrant his removal from the game, since his coach came onto the floor, A-1 must be replaced. The only way to keep A-1 in the game at this point is to request a timeout before the replacement interval for the substitution has begun.

Very Good Play. The Coach should have waited to be beckoned or call Timeout. Thanks.
