I assume an injured player situation is handled the same in NCAA and High School.

It's almost the same, but not quite.
In both NCAA and FED, if the injury is not severe, then you allow the offense to continue until they stop attacking the basket or until they complete their play.
The difference is in how NCAA and FED interpret "complete their play". In HS, releasing a try completes the play (5-8-2 NOTE. That's from the '03-'04 book. I don't know if the numbers changed this year). So as soon as the shooter releases the try, you blow your whistle for the injury. If the ball goes in, fine; if not, then you resume play with the arrow.
In NCAA, "a play shall be completed when a team withholds the ball from play
by ceasing to attempt to score or advance the ball to a scoring position" (5-9-8a, emphasis mine). This means that even after Team A releases a try, if Team A gets the rebound and continues to try to score, you allow play to continue.
