Grant time-out for "injured" player?
Situation:
HS Boys Varsity,
Team A scores...Team B is bringing the ball up the court...Coach A screams at the near official that he has an injured player and needs a time-out.
Official looks for an injured player, and does not see one. Official ignores Coach A's request.
Coach A goes balistic...finally Team A gets a rebound and is granted a TO.
Official's partner comes over to separate him and the Coach A...who is still going nuts.
Come to find out...Coach A says that his player has a "heart condition" and that he was pointing to his chest that he couldn't breath. He was still trying to play, but his mouth was open like he couldn't catch his breath.
I will stay neutral in my response, for now...would like some comments from the forum.
