Injured player...coach beckoned

[shishstripes]

Make sure the player needs help before beckoning the coach. If they need help, beckon the coach. Most kids need to get over that initial scare of being hurt.

The case play you mention doesn't suggest that the coach was beckoned just that the coach either came out or didn't come out.

Rule clinicians would say that if you have beckoned the coach on the floor, have the coach replace the player or call the timeout. I am not always a clinician and if I believe I prematurely beckoned the coach, I will allow the player to remain in the game.
