Let me take you back to 1970. I was working at a radio station in the Chicago suburbs and doing football and basketball games over the air, including some college basketball games. At one of the HS games, a rather large official running full speed knocked smack into a cheerleader who was at that place where the endline and sideline meet and he sent her flying. She fell into the endline bleachers and bonked her head pretty bad. They had to call an ambulance. It turned out she wasn't seriously hurt, thank goodness. The thing I remember most about the incident is that the school didn't hold up the game at all and we were already late in Q4 of a 30+ point blowout by the home team. They should have just called it. There was a delay of almost 45 minutes. I had a lot of airtime to fill, let me tell you.
