Rules Analysis
The game clock shall be started when an official blows the whistle to restart play, unless there are 60 seconds or less remaining in any quarter or overtime period.
In the event that an official must call a timeout for an injured, ill, or bleeding player, the official will stop play either:
The player’s team is charged a timeout if the injured player is not substituted, unless the injury was caused by an opponent. If the team charged the timeout has possession and has no timeouts remaining, then it is a turnover. If the team charged the timeout does not have possession and has no timeouts remaining, then it is a delay of game penalty.
