What!!!!!

Shoot the messenger. I understand that when you have nothing of value to add to this discussion you try to attack the credibility of the messenger, trying to make it about me. Nice try but this is not about me. A kid was beat up on the court and by the time we realize what happen it was too late for the kid. For a kid to get beat up to this extent does leave some doubt. It's okay if you don't like my advice because I could care less about yours as well. I simply try to show a different side of the issue because only one side has been painted here.
I would take it personally if a kid was beat to the extent the OP stated on my court while I'm working. Nobody is throwing any punches between the rectangle box today that I don't see immediately and try to get control of. Nobody is going out in a ambulance for being beat up on my court either. They may need an ambulance because they made an athletic play and hurt themselves, but not for getting beat up by a player on the opposite team. I got some more advice for you, but it's okay if you don't like it. You are supposed to watch "all" ten players at "all" times when the ball is live. Oh, and guess what, that's not in the rulebook either but it is true.
As far as my examples. It's because I get out there and work some games. I don't stay at home all day and read the rulebook when I don't have nothing to do. I get out there and work and things happen. Something you should try to do instead of attacking someone who does, and then maybe you will have some story's to tell.
