[just another ref]

Most of us have had this happen in varying degrees at one time or another. When the crowd laughs, (yes, I said when, not if) it makes you want to jump up and pull a Meadowlark Lemon: "Hey! What are you people laughing at?
Somebody could have been killed out here! ....and it could
have been me!" One of the nastiest ref spills I ever saw involved a guy stepping back and stepping on the ball. It was like he was tossed up in the air and then his butt was the first thing to hit the court. To his credit, he didn't even wince noticeably, and managed to keep smiling.
I think everybody in the crowd laughed except me.
