To answer your question Kelvin...I did not notice she was hurt. Not until the coach told me, did I know her condition. It did not appear serious...bruised knee, but she seemed to be in some discomfort. But I don't want to make a hurt 8th grader play the game. I wish it could be that we could let her shoot the free throws, if capable, and after the 2nd shot (good or bad) blow the whistle and let the sub come in. This might prevent such tricks by the coaches. But then again, trying to determine if a player is physically capable may not be our job.
