The coach at UConn did recently say that he "Coaches basketball" he does not coach "Women's basketball." He went on to say that he gets upset when coaches treat young ladies differently than other male players. He expects toughness regardless of who you are.
But regardless of what is likely, if a player stays down and acts clearly hurt (even if it is not serious) I would not treat the situation differently in principle. I do not do a lot of middle school (actually have not in years) but little boys cried when all kinds of things at a young age and it does not have to be because of an injury or being hurt. They cry if you call a foul on them. IJS.
