I've almost had this happen. During a scrimmage the coach was crowding the sideline during a fast break and I went running by him, he was close enough I could feel the split in the air you get when passing something. Then there was another game where a few fans had gathered down at the corner of the gym but they were partially on the floor (just gym, not playing). Here I come sprinting stride for stride with the break away player and the end line was quite spacious so to get in position I did a turn which put me really close to the fans (a couple of good ole boys shootin the rancher BS, I'm guessing) and I brushed one of them because I hadn't fully slowed down yet. Next time down the court I came with good speed on me, there weren't any good ole boys that far out.
I don't mind collision with any of the ten kids on the court, I can deal with that, but if you're stationary and see my butt haulin towards you and you haven't seen me look at you or adjust to a different path of travel....MOVE! If I knock you down, thats your fault, I'm trying to make sure I'm where I'm needed to keep your kid safe and make the proper call.
