I took the NFHS Part I written test today and picked-up my new rules book. This gave me a chance to speak with our local director. I ran the injury scenario by him, and he agreed that the official should not stop the clock when merely determining if a player is injured. However, if this takes more than a few seconds, the referee should rule that the player is injured and stop the clock (meaning that the player must leave the game). Otherwise, teams will use this as a way to waste time.

Additionally, I agree with Cecil that once the referee stops the clock, that player must leave the game.

PS Interesting to see that you are in MD. I officiated basketball and lacrosse in Montgomery Cty, but not soccer.
