Grade 4-5 boys tournament, semi-final game.

B1 goes in, tries to get LGP on the A1, B1 fails, is called for the block and goes flying.

B1 is on the ground, hunched over crying.

Coach B: If I come on the court I've gotta take you off, and I'm not doing that.

Now, I know the rule is if an official beckons the coach on, the player must be replaced or a time out must be charged.

So I beckon the coach. The coach still doesn't attend to his player. I beckon again, explaining to him that his player will be coming off regardless of whether he steps foot on the court, with the exception of calling a timeout.

He still refuses to attend to his player.

Then after about 2 minutes on the gound, the player gets up and starts limping to the bench.

The coach tells him to get ready to play, I tell the coach unless he calls a timeout I want a replacement.

My partner comes up to me and says, "The coach didn't come onto the court, so let the player stay."

At which point I explained the rule. My P backed off.

I was disgusted with this coaches lack of responsibility for the safety of his players. I don't think he's fit to coach if that's how he'll treat an injured player.

In the end we get our replacement. And the game goes on without incident. Well not totally without incident, but that's another thread.
