Had a "dive" similar to what Mick posted. Doing a Saturday boys rec game and was transitioning to lead after a steal. I turned and headed up court looking back over my shoulder when I saw a player out of the corner of my eye. I tried to side-step him and lost my balance and went down. It was a tile floor (Catholic school gym) and I put my hand down so I would not hit my head and broke my wrist. The dumb thing is I did not know it was actually broken -- it hurt, but not too bad. This occurred in the 2 of 3 games. As the games progressed it began to hurt more when I would do a 10 secound count and foul reporting (I am right handed. I drove to the hospital after the last game (5-speed so shifting was fun) and they x-rayed it and put a temporary cast on until I went to the ortho guy on Monday and he put a pin in it and put on a regular cast. I acutually only missed 2 weeks of officiating -- learned to do things with my left hand.
