No, no & no.
If the kid is in obvious distress then blow the ball dead
regardless of who has it & where they are. Especially if
it's a rec league game, and by that I mean don't give a
player the benefit of the doubt just to keep the game
going. I think it's safe to say that usually the older
asthmatic kids will know their own limitations & either
slow down or ask to be pulled before they are in trouble,
although I would not bet the house on it.
