[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 790960, member: 20605"] Way back, before yellow & red cards, when the sin bin (also called "the cooler" in South Africa) was first introduced, it was five minutes, not 10. The player did indeed have to stand behind the dead ball line. However, the practice was discontinued because the player could not easily be treated for injury or kept warm. That might sound rather trite, but a player made to stand in one place for 10 minutes is at increased risk of injury when he comes back on. At elite levels, there is a 4th official (a.k.a. the substitution controller) whose job it is to ensure that teams only use their permitted number of substitutions/replacements, and to tell the referee when subs & replacement are about to be made. Another part of the job is managing the yellow carded player's reintroduction to the game. All this takes place in the technical areas on the side of the playing enclosure. It would be difficult for him to do that task while keeping an eye on the sin binned player over 50m away. [/QUOTE]
