so we are all in agreement that coach coming onto floor means we have no discretion to keep injured player on the floor, we must sub them out even if it is late in the game and they are obviously only briefly injured, maybe contact had to be rearranged, maybe they lost their wind, whatever, and now the coach has his best player sitting ready to come in and shoot the free throws? We cannot stop coach from coming on the floor, at least I cannot find anywhere where it is a Tech for a coach to come onto floor to help semi-injured player; so that means coaches can use some gamesmanship late in games to get best shooters to the line and nothing we can or should do about it?
just have not heard any opposite opinions and I had this happen last night and felt helplessly at the coaches mercy whether he decided to come out or stay on bench
