one reason you get paid the big bucks

Denny,

That is a judgement call on your part. A good rule of thumb is if you stop the game, and you know that the situation is not life-threatening, give the bench the stop sign in order to keep coach and/or trainer from sprinting onto the floor. If the bench personnel comes, the player then goes.

After that, talk to the player and make your own determination if they are able to continue safely. If so, just resume play.....if not, then beckon help from the sidelines. Remember however, you can never err if you work on the side of safety.
