I attended a lower level DIII Men's College basketball game over the weekend. I saw something that I had a question about. I officiate HS level and I know the ruling for HS but, maybe, it's different for College. Situation. Player A drives to the basket and gets hammered. Basket goes in and the player is injured. Coach/Trainer are allowed on the floor to attend to the player. Official gives the Coach the option to leave the injured player in to attempt the free throw. Isn't the player required to leave the court and the Coach allowed to substitute any player from the bench to attempt the free throw?

I believe the NCAA rule is the same as NFHS. And that is that he can take a TO and leave him in. Otherwise, he has to come out.

Don't quote me but I think because the foul stopped the action and not the injury of the player the coach now has that option?

Well, I quoted you. Sorry. :) Not sure what "option" you're talking about, but the reason for stopping play is irrelevant to the situation. Tony's reply was exactly correct, whether the play was stopped due to injury or a foul.

Well, for one, I'm certainly glad that Tony wasn't <b>inexactly</b> correct.

If he's inexactly correct that means he's only 109% correct, instead of 110% correct.
