I saw this happen at a U Washington v Texas Tech womens game a few years ago. A minute or so to go, A1 for Baylor was bumbed (not hard at all) and fell, she was 0 fo 6 on FT at that point. She was slow a getting up and Tech's head coach was saying that A1 was hurt and wanted to attend to the player. The coach was allowed to come onto the floor. The sub made both FT to tie the game. The next dead ball A1 came back into the game and made the game winning shot.
The crowd was going nuts but the refs did what they had to do because the player said that she was hurt. Eventhough the refs suspected that she was not actually injured it is not their job to determine the extent of an injury.
