I'm sure it does. Heck in this line of work nothing surprises me. I haven't had this happen.
Sometimes when I read some rules I almost wish they gave an alternative way of trying to handle first before hitting the penalty. I know it's easier to maintain uniformity with black and white rulings and in basketball that is the case with 99% of what happens. But there should be a common sense clause that should be allowed to be enacted in certain instances.
I won't forget the college game where the coach had a heart attack and landed on the court and was given a T. The conference said the officials should have rescinded the T. Granted that's an extreme example but the common sense clause could have kicked in.
*Disclaimer* I am aware that some folks lack common sense. Hopefully in a crew of 2 or 3 100% of the crew is not lacking.
