2 person game. I'm going from old lead to new trail. Girl on Team A runs into the padded standard under the basket and goes down. Team B is on a fast break. I observe Team A girl moving so I knew she wasn't unconcious. Team B takes shot, grabs rebound, and I blow whistle to tend to A player. I call coach to take care of her player, just as she stands up and starts walking to play. I tell coach I need a sub for her. He asks why. I said because I stopped play for you to tend to her. He said, "I didn't tell you to stop play." I said "Coach, I was concerned about your player. I need a sub for her. Or if you want to keep her in take a time out." He took a time out.
If a ref stops a game for a player, does he/she have to come out? I thought 3.3.5 pretty much leaves no option. justification.
Or if you beckon a coach, and he refuses to tend to her, or come on to the court, do I just let it go and continue play?

Wrong interpretation, Frank. If an official stops play for a possible injury, the player does not have to come out of the game if they are able to continue without assistance and their coach didn't come out on the court.
Case book play 3.3.5SitB says "A1 may remain in the game if the coach does not come onto the court and A1 is ready to play immediately". That case play covers your situation well imo.

However, if you "call for the coach", the player needs to be replaced or a timeout must be taken to keep them in the game.
|
And, in answer to your second question, if the coach refuses to come onto the court to tend to her, and she doesn't get up pretty quickly, you write a letter to the school and report said coach as being way, way too wrapped up in his win/loss statistics, and not nearly enough concerned about the girls. Or report it to your assignor, whichever.

Why? Report it I mean.

I guess it's the parent in me that's talking. I want the girls' well-being to be at the top of the priority list for the coach. If she's really hurt, and really can't get up, the coach should be out there tending to her. If he's not, I think he needs to be answerable to someone.
