I will say A

[KevinHall]

I'll go with B on this one.

[JFCats22]

Hmm....I'm going B or C on this one. I'll go with B. I don't think a timeout is needed.

[Joneslab]

I believe it's A.

This actually happened in the Harvard/Auburn game yesterday. Auburn's big man got his contact knocked loose (not out), but he had to remove it and put it back in. He was taken out but I'm not sure if Pearl just removed him or if he had to go to the bench.

Still going A.
