Sometimes, the only person that can see the injured player is the person looking in that direction, even if it's just in the periphery.
I have no problem with what the OP did. It met the spirit and letter of the rule.
And maybe the T/C didn't see it. Maybe they did. So what?

I try to be aware of everything happening on my court. As I run to new Lead I am always looking over my shoulder at competitive matchups and spotted the downed player. I'm not sure Trail or C saw it but frankly I didn't care. I'm trying to referee with an R mentality and I took charge once I saw the fast break stop. If I were working with more trusted partners then I would approach things differently.
