Injured player...coach beckoned

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.
