Depending on the level of the player, it's not an easy thing to target a certain body part when saving a ball from out of bounds. I agree this is a had-to-be-there.

I had something similar several years ago. A-1 tries to save the ball from going out of bounds, leaps, grabs it with one hand, and drills a laser right at B-2. Unfortunately, it hits B-2 squarely in the "egg sack." The poor kid goes down in a heap. I considered a T for half a second, but there was no way A-1 had the skill to target that save.

A few weeks later, I see B-2's athletic director at a local tournament. I ask about B-2 (who is fine), and whether anyone shot video of the game.

"Are you kidding?" he replied. "[B-2]'s dad watches that play every day!"
