Unbeckoned coach...

Now, if he's yelling at me along the way, it may turn out different.

Camron,
We're saying the same thing. I agree with your post, but if he gives me any grief about replacing the player, then he needs to be informed of the break that he just got.

I had this situation last season. The Coach may not necessarily need to be beckoned onto the floor to tend to an injured/or apparently injured player. BUT, once they enter the playing area the player MUST be replaced by a substitution. Somewhere in rule 3 section 14, I think, going by memory here.
