I know how you feel!! Last year I had a partner in a BV game take a hit from a defensive player firmly planted when he was hit by the dribbler on a player control foul. My partner flew backward and hit the back of his head squarely on the floor. Blood everywhere! The AD drove him to the hospital and seven stitches later he asked what hit him? He and the AD have been friends for years and the AD told him that "he had jumped so high to get out of the way of the players, he had hit his head on the bottom of the glass". To this day the guy thinks he still has enough legs to get up and hit his head on the bottom of the glass!!
Unbelievable at his age!
Sometimes you just can't get out of the way! You want to be in a position to see and make the call - especially in a tight game. The kids are too quick. You zig when they zag!
The cool thing about the train wreck is that the kids remember you and it gives you a chance to act like a human being. They appreciate it when you can laugh at yourself.
Keep on ziggin' and zaggin'!!
