Whn to call time on player injury

[jicecone]

There is NO comparison in fairness to the game or the health of the player at any level, period. Especially at LL. Don't even go there. Call time and any coach that doesn't like it, gets tossed.

At the more advanced levels, what tends to happen is the players will complete the play and realize the seriousness of what happened and relax. Then you can call time for the record.

For the most part though, if you have to error, ALWAYS error on the side of the injured player.

I officiated a hockey game where a players throat was cut open with a skate and seconds were precious, and in baseball a semi-pro pitcher was knocked unconscious with the throw to second and time was called at the completion of the play. Two different scenario's, you have to judge accordingly but, error on the side of the player.
