Official stops clock for injury

[fullor30]

[QUOTE=JRutledge]After all there is some judgment in play here. But many officials do not know the rule either. One of the very first real debates I ever had online with a group of officials was over this rule. H@!!, there are officials that want to stop the game because a shoelace is untied.

Amen............ every case is different, but this one was just bad judgement.

At no time was this player in imminent danger from the action nor did it require immediate stoppage of play for health concerns on player.

You saw the play I did not. It is clear that many officials clearly stop play anytime someone breaks a nail.

The ref got it right in my case. It was after our made basket. He blew the whistle, saw he was OK, and continued on.

I was confusing this with what I read on here before, which the consensus was that if the coach is beckoned, then the player must come out, whether the coach decides to come on the court or not (unless takes a timeout). He just stopped play and didn't beckon.
