Let me first say that I understand your concern for the treatment of the injured player. I don't believe any of us want to see a player laying on the floor in one of our games, but it happens. I would, however, heed the advise of JR and call the coach to attend to the player and get away from area. By getting away from the area you avoid confrontation with coach or parents. BTW, you never know if some legal liability may result from a sitch like this. Anyway, better safe than sorry.
