Strangest injury in a game I was working......coach was down on one knee leaning out over the court. I turned and ran back as lead on a fast break steal. My knee hit the coach right in the head and he almost blacked out! I waited until the kid scored and called for official timeout to rub my knee and check on the coach. He was woozy, but otherwise OK!
This one may be an urban legend, but a ref told me he saw a high school game where a kid tried to dunk, got his finger caught in the net and ripped his finger off! He said they rushed him to the hospital to sew it back on!
As a player: in high school we won a district championship and in the process of cutting down the nets, one of my friends sliced a deep gash into his arm requiring a lot of stitches!
