jarecker1 Like my mother always said, "don't play ball in the house." And, "don't run down the basketball court backwards." Tough lesson...

Never backpeddle -- besides looking dangerous, it also looks terrible. Run looking over your inside shoulder. I wouldn't have even acknowledged the coach.
AirForceDude Opening tip yesterday, I'm U1 on a 2 man crew. The play goes to my right so I start running the sideline looking over my left shoulder. Next thing I know I'm picking up a player from the previous game who was walking along the side line. Neither one of us knew what hit us. She was OK and fortunately for me everyone was watching game so my pride stayed in tact. Had I been back peddling this could have been bad as I wouldn't have been able to catch myself.

I would have did my best to make a nice looking T signal with my broken wrist.
whistleone Originally posted by blindzebra You actually got off lucky. I know an official that back peddled at a camp and got clipped by a player from the next court. The first thing to hit the floor was the back of his head, he got a skull fracture and was in intensive care for several days and in the hospital for a couple of weeks. It was over 2 months before he got the okay to get back on the court. Back peddling is a bad thing to do. [sarcasm] What exactly are these back peddlers selling? How do they have time to do that while officiating a basketball game? [/sarcasm]

FrankHtown I don't know if it's bad karma or not, but after reading this thread, last night in a JV game, I fell for the first time in like 8 years. Can we have someone start a thread on winning the lottery, please.
