Official stops clock for injury

I didn't know it was a rule. Somebody must've taught me well. I am definitely going to try and find it tonight when I get home.

I seriously didn't know that was in the book. With that said, I got a 97, 96 & 100 on my NFHS closed book test over the last 3 seasons and an 88 on my first NCAA test this year. I say this because my biggest fear is that I'm going to kick a rule to the point that it determines the outcome of a game. Do you guys often have this in the back of your mind? Also, when somebody asks me a rules question, sometimes I give them the answer right off the top of my head, but there is some doubt, but when I go back and look up my answer, I've usually given the correct answer. It's the doubting that concerns me. When does that time come when you just know that you know the darn rules without doubt, sort of like Nevada and Jurassic? And I say that with all due respect.
