These remind me of another incident although it wasn't basketball, but softball

I also umpire slow pitch and we are doing a women's slow pitch league. I'm in the field and my partner is behind the plate. Plate umpires were a bag off the belt that contains a couple of extra balls just to set the set the picture.

Well, woman swings and tips the ball right back to the ump and hits him square! Women all hoot and holler with the batter apologizing. Ump steps out of box to catch his breath and I yell in to him, "are you O.K.?" He yells out to me, "No problem, it just hit me in the ball bag!"

With that comment, the whole field breaks up, and then he finally realizes what he said. I must admit if was pretty funny.
