Injured player...coach beckoned

If you beckon the coach, the player must be removed or the coach must use a TO to keep him in the game.

If the coaches enters without being beckoned, he must replace him.

What are you seeing differently?

This line throws me...

"A1 may remain in the game if the coach does not
come on the court and A1 is ready to play immediately"

So if I beckon the coach and he doesn't come out, do we need a sub or TO? I'm not selling wolf tickets when I beckon the coach. I think the casebook is leaving open the possibility for an astute coach to ignore my beckon in the hopes the player recovers 'immediately'

Little bit contradictory

There's no contradiction, the case play does not say that the coach was beckoned. Just that the coach comes on the court or does not come on the court. By rule, if you beckoned the coach, the player either sits or coach takes a time out. This is where I think it is important to be patient when you beckon the coach.

Rules book says explicitly:
Rule 3 article 6
ART. 6 . . . A player who has been injured to the extent that the coach or any
other bench personnel is beckoned and/or comes onto the court shall be directed to leave the game, unless a time-out is requested by, and granted to, his/her team
and the situation can be corrected by the end of the time-out.

No, beckoned and come onto the court or just come onto the court is the criteria. If the player is up in a reasonable amount of time before the coach coming onto the court, we are playing ball.

This is also the only time I really use a stop sign. I'll glance at the coach and if I see him creeping but I think the player might be ready to go, I'll hold my hand up as I talk to the player. Might not work for everyone, but....

Re-read the play. The coach was not beckoned. He came onto the floor to check his player. Had he not come on the floor, the player could have remained in the game.
