If we see this more and more, we'll eventually see a similar change in NFHS.

Yup, the OP's scenario is why NCAA-M and the NBA have their rules regarding replacing a designated free thrower and/or jumper (NBA) the way they do. Wouldn't surprise me if sometime in the future, NFHS had discussions on adopting a similar rule.

Doesn't the NBA rule differ from the NCAA rule in that the withdrawn player in the NBA actually can't return to the game? I know that used to be the rule. Not sure if it's changed. Perhaps that's the basis for the confusion in the original post.

Yes, he wouldn't be allowed back in the contest unless the injury was due to an unsporting act (FF2/punching foul) or if there's a FF1 call that also happened to be an away-from-the-play foul. In the case of a FF1 call with an injury, the offended coach would pick the shooter from any of the four remaining players on the court. If it's a FF2, then the offended coach could pick anyone including someone from the bench.
