[Hard]

I have heard of this, but didn't think it would ever happen to me . . .

BJV game, transition trail to lead, running along side line looking over my left shoulder. Outlet pass goes by me and I think "that balls going out of bounds . . ." turn my head forward and see that the little point guard has gotten to the side line RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME; AAAAGH. Lucky for me, he only scales about 160+-, and I'm closer to 200. It appears (from a micro-second assessment) that he saves it, sends it back into court, and both of us go into bleachers. As I roll over and try to figure out where things are, I see the ball fly out of bounds over the end line and against the wall. It looked like it went off red - I blow the whistle hard, and look to my partner for help and . . . I can't decide if he's not responding cause he knows I've got it, or if he's laughing too hard!

Other than a barked shin, I survived, and the player I lifted off the bleachers apparently was as well (he asked me if I was "good").

I'd love to see the video.
