Knock on wood, but I've never had a player seriously injured in any of the sports I've called (b-ball, football, softball, rugby).
The basketball injury that will always stand out in my memory was when David Thompson of NC State skied to the basket and literally tripped over a teammate's shoulder. It was in either the '74 or '75 NCAA tournament round of 8 or 16...can't recall for sure or who the Pack was playing. He landed on his noggin and didn't move seemingly forever...I remember thinking he was dead. Played the next game. I guess there was no concussion.
