We've had the thread(s) about the Cal football player faking an injury to slow down the game against Oregon, so now let me ask this. Has anyone ever had a basketball player fake an injury to get an official to stop the clock, perhaps because that team was out of timeouts and needed the clock stopped for something (perhaps a sub)? If so, how did you determine the player was faking? What, if anything, did you do about it?

For the rest of us - if you really thought this was happening in one of your games, how would you deal with it. I know it would be extremely difficult to be positive a player was faking an injury, but I guess they might try it under certain circumstances.
