I know this is going to sound bad, but if the player did not go down or stop playing, how can the official know this player a player is injured. You know how many times I have heard a coach complain they had a player injured only to go back up the court.
I understand why the coach might be upset at first, but then the coach needs to take a step back and realize that we are not doctors. If a kid has that kind of problem, then my question is why the player is playing in the first place. Most officials are only going to recognize an injury when a player clearly in incapacitated on some level. If the player is running around that is going to be hard to tell.

Peace
