If a player is noticeably hurt then I always ask the player myself if he is ok. And if I hear the coach ask him and he responds negatively I wouldn't have given the ball to the player but instead confirmed that the player said he wasnt ok and asked the coach for a sub.
ETA- And I would NEVER say to a coach, "I thought he was going to shake it off." IMO that opens a whole can of worms, none of which are good.
