The injured player may have simply taken his time to get up and wasn't really injured. That is why you have to rely on your partners to evaluate the situation. Also, the new T should have stayed back with the injured player.

Uhmmm, did you read his OP?

He said they had pulled the ball back out behind the 3 point line before he blew it dead...and he said the player went down before the breaking team rebounded the ball.
