if it's primarily due to her physical injuries, the time off is a no brainer. let her feel normal/well/healthy again for months, not just days or weeks.
if it's primarily due to her a$$ coach, still take some time off but maybe shorter and ask her (don't suggest or tell) if she'd want to do some occasional training with a coach, private trainer, team or other that she enjoys when the timing is right. By all means, never play for that coach again. There are A LOT of coaches out there -- including successful ones with tournament or national championships -- who are awfully insecure and sap the confidence from their players. Then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy too. Often it's younger coaches who don't have kids themselves.
If she does play in college, are you sure that the coach there has the right disposition for your daughter? I would keep that in mind if she decides to return to the game. Best to you and her!
