Injured player...coach beckoned

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.

How do you justify letting a kid stay in if you beckoned the coach? That completely contradicts the rule and case play. If you beckoned him, you thought he needed help. It's too late to change your mind at that point.
