Sometimes they really can't help it. Tonight, BV, had a kid with a similar build and similar athletic ability to #34, but not as big. Early second half, trying to cut off the baseline, big collision caused the offensive player, who was airborne, to land awkwardly. He left the game with an ankle injury. As he was helped off, the fouler looked at me, obviously guilt stricken, "My bad."
With 1.6 seconds left in the game, this same kid undercut another player who was flying in to try for a rebound. The flyer crashed hard to the floor and did not get up. I was told that the injured player was just returning to action after suffering a broken back in a car accident. We ended the game at this point and met an ambulance just down the road from the school. I'm certain that this last play was an accident.

The injured player was a teammate.
