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-2 is fouled in the act of shooting and is injured. The coach comes onto the floor to tend to A-2. A-6 subs for A-2 and attempts the two free throws. The last free throw is successful. A-2 is waiting at the table to return to the game.
Handle the situation.
A-2 is not permitted to return to the game at this point since the clock has not run. It does not matter why a player leaves the game. Once a player leaves the game, that player is not allowed to return to the game until the clock has run.
