If you do not care, why are you concerned about what is the result of the play? If the play was illegal or legal, that is all you should ever be concerned with. How a player gets hurt is not your concern. Even as a football official, it is not my job to make sure players are protected from being hurt. The game is a violent game and people get hurt. Basketball is a game of contact and people get hurt. That happens whether people do something illegal or not. Remember this was your words about the player getting hurt, not mine. I have only focused on the legality of the play and wanted you to clarify why the player being hurt had any relevance. And you did refer to what the coach would say. I am not the one that put those words on the screen under your name.
