After just watching a kid get wheeled off the court on a stretcher, it certainly wouldn't hurt to give the kids a few minutes to get their heads back into the game and allow people some time to shift their moods back to the game. Seems like the right thing to do. All you have to do is remind the coaches that the same rules apply as for pre-game warm-ups. If anything, it's a good way to attempt to avoid a problem you might have had if you started the game as soon as the injured kid is wheeled off. Assuming he got hurt during game action, you might have a quick retaliation situation you have to deal with. It still might happen, but with a 3 minute warm-up (or cool down depending on whether tempers have flared) you may avoid a bad situation.
