Ditto. Unconscious, bleeding, or excruciating pain - I stop play right away.

Unconscious: yes.

Bleeding: depends where the blood is from -- ears, yes; nose, no.

Excruciating pain: seldom.

As I posted in another thread: ask yourself whether 10 seconds is likely to make any difference in the condition of the injured player. I do stay with the injured player.

Just tell the coach that he should inform his future officials that if one of his own kids is knocked unconscious during the game, and that the other team has the ball on a fast break, that it is okay to let the game go on.
