This is always seen as a positive. Throw out the rule book and make it right for the player, the coaches have never had an issue.

1. Allow the person on the court for the jump ball. As soon as a team has posession, blow play dead and allow the sub to come in and replace.

2. Allow the person on the court for the jump ball and intentionally have a very bad toss that gets blown dead by one of your partners. Allow the sub to come in.

3. Do a ceremonial tip, then do the real one.

4. This one was the best, put the injured player next to his or her goal. Throw the tip, no matter who gets, the pass goes to the player and he / she scores and then you blow dead and allow sub. This is normally for a senior person in last game of season kind of thing.

Ew.

If memory serves correctly, Nykeshia (sp?) Sales of UConn was allowed to set the NCAA women's scoring record wearing an obviously illegal boot on her injured ankle. She was given the ball after the tip and was allowed an uncontested shot under the basket to set the (some would say tainted) record.
