Nevada, Although you are correct that this case had nothing to do with HS officiating and that other injury examples include misuse of the goal; that does not alter the point that a falling goal can cause injury. Mark's comment that he does not officiate HS soccer anymore merely identifies his context and does not imply any connection between the example incident and officials, HS or otherwise.
As said before, the only point in this topic is a reminder that unanchored goals are a hazard. I hope that you are not minimizing either the loss of one player per year or the need for officials to observe safety rules. Do you allow games to be played with unanchored goals? I doubt it, as you obviously know the rules and officiating responsibilities.
Mark, I don't think we needed the comment about lawyers even though a tangent to the topic. Please drop the apology and comments about Nevada integrity because it looks like he is just missing the point or consciously making another which the rest of us are missing.
IOW, enough everyone, we have all covered this.
