It's kind of strange, but I think very often the player who commits the foul gets the worst of the contact. The worst injury I've ever personally witnessed was during a community college game. A1 is closely guarded by B1. A1 fakes a 3-point attempt. B1 jumps high in the air and toward A1 (who never left the floor). B1 comes down on top of A1, flips upside down and lands on his shoulder, bending his outstretched arm the wrong way. B1 hyperextended his elbow and dislocated his shoulder. It was ugly, and obviously painful. And while the kid's lying there with the trainer, I have to go to the table and report the foul on him. Not a good night.
