If it is a head injury stop play immediately, don't wait a second, NO MATTER WHAT THE SITUATION

There are all kinds of different circumstances here. I have blown a play dead as soon as the player went down and I have also waited for quite some time to kill the play. You just have to be the judge of how detrimental it is to the player. If it is just a turned ankle, do you think the game can continue without the player having immediate help or attention? What about a play where the player goes down and slams there head violently on the floor? Maybe a different situation there? Overall this is all based on your judgement as an official.

Always err on the side of safety. If there is any reason to be concerned for the immediate safety of the injured player, stop play immediately. After all, it's a game.

There is another post today about a middle-school player dying on the court. Does anyone remember the result of that game?
