Do you call a late foul? Call an officials timeout for his injury? Play on? What are your thoughts?
I've had this situation before. If you realize it fast enough you can come with a late whistle for a foul. Still, some will say if you don't actually see the foul you can't call it.

The 2 or 3 times I've come with a late foul whistle no one has ever complained.
