Injury, Or Not???

Hopefully, the lead sees him fall and can have a pretty good idea of whether it was a legitimate injury. If he falls down without contact, there's a good chance I'm letting play continue.

Snags:

Lets put this play in to context then. A1 has just made the free throw. Dollars to donuts says that Team B is just getting a player out of bounds to attempt a throw-in pass about the time A2 hits the floor. If this play happened with 5:35 left in the second quarter, would you stop play immediately to take care of A2? Of course you would. The time left in the game is not relevant. We are dealing with H.S. age and younger players. Unless you have very deep pockets, always error on the side of safety.
