The NFHS doesn't think so.

[just another ref]

You hold the coach and the parent of an injured player to the same standard??

Interesting.

Ya' know, Nevadaref is right. A few seasons ago, I was training a HS kid to ref in a rec league game that was 3rd-4th grade girls. One of the girls went up to dunk the ball and wedged her wrist between the rim and the backboard and her arm ripped right off. When she fell to the floor, she bashed her head open. Her arm socket was shooting blood and there was brain matter falling out of the top of her open head.

Of course I waited for the other team, who had got the rebound, to finish their fast break before I blew the whistle and then beckoned the coach out. Then the girl's 90 year old grandmother stumbled out of the bleachers using her walker to come over to the girl. As soon as she stepped onto the court, I immediately physically picked her up off the floor, carried her to the door and threw her into the parking lot.

After all, she had no business coming out onto the floor, since I'm sure the girl's parents signed a waiver.

Oh yeah - I also hit that team with a flagrant technical and then I told the coach the girl couldn't return until the first dead ball following the ball becoming live.

That's what the rule says I should have done, right Nevadaref?
