A few years ago, I worked a JV boys tournament.

A-1 is trying to save a ball from going out a bounds. He jumps, gets a hand on the ball, and unintentionally fires a perfect laser right into B-2's egg-sack.

B-2 drops to the floor and cries out in agony. Everyone else freezes, as the ball cruelly takes a few seconds to slowly roll back out of bounds. (In hindsight, I probably could have hit my whistle sooner.) I check on B-2 about ten minutes later, who says he's fine, although still reeling a bit.

Two weeks later, I see School B's varsity coach, and ask him about B-2. He laughs and says he's fine. I ask if anyone recorded the game.

"Oh yeah," the coach says. "His dad runs that part back four or five times every day!"
