I wold be very careful of assuming that an injury is faked. Just because the coach is trying to coach does not mean that the player was not inujured. I would think that this would be a difficult position to defend. Since most of us are not trained in atheltic injuries to the level of knowing when someone is injured, I cannot think of a situation when I would make the judgement that it was faked. I can be a little slow about beckongin a coach n the floor by asking the player if they want their coach on. I can, as others have suggested, get the game going, remind the coach he has 30 seconds to replace the player, keep the players on the floor away from the coach, etc. But I am not going to take the liability to decide a player faked an injury.
