JVG game last Friday, 1 pt game with 2 min to play. Missed shot fast break by losing visiting team- as I'm the new lead, and dribbler is about 4 steps from an easy layup(which she continues to do after whistle) when partner blows whistle while still under Home teams basket and standing over an H player.
Of course, I'm next to V coach who is initially unhappy with the call(and probably still is), asking me whats going on/basket should be good. I saw the injured player and told coach I'd check w/my partner, thinking" I'm surprised he whistled at that point".
Turns out the player had hit her head, was bleeding from 1 eye, and not moving. Partner(and I agreed) felt the injury deserved immediate attention, hence the quick whistle.
Game was delayed, paramedics arrived quickly, player taken away..found out days later that there were no serious issues...
V coach didnt say another word on the injury whistle and eventually lost by 1.
