Injured player and free throws

[BryanV21]

On today's "sue, sue, sue" world there's no way I'm making a kid stay on the court if I have reason to believe he could be hurt.

There were some other things associated with why I feel the coach wasn't trying to pull a fast one. The player injured was a good player and had just went 2 for 2 on last free throw attempts. The kid took a good amount of time to even get up. I'm not putting a kid at further risk of making an injury worse. If the trainer says he may come back then so be it.

The NCAA addressed this so that if a player is hurt and it is not a Flagrant Foul (which would could call an intentional) then the shooter could be chosen by the opponent.

I do not think that would be necessarily appropriate for the high school game considering that we do not want to give incentive for an injured player to stay on the floor, but unfortunately or fortunately we do not have such a rule. But I do not see many kids completely faking an injury for this purpose either.

I don't think that it is appropriate at the college level either.

That tells me B coach knew the kid was hurt and wanted him to attempt his FTs injured so he (B) would gain an advantage. His leash just got tightened considerably.
