Right, but we knew that part already. Change the scenario to "the official calls a foul." So what. Johnny gets hurt either way.

Did the parents in the Fla. scenario just blame the official (big deal ... happens, usually baselessly, dozens of times a game) or did they actually sue/win in the Fla. scenario?

Sorry, KansasRef, not trying to shoot the messenger. Just intrigued, that's all.

The main take home from this seminar was that it made me seriously consider taking out their 'liability insurance"- that Naso offers.
Which, of course, was probably at least partially the point of the presentation.

And, was there a pattern of similar plays being ignored prior to the play in question where the injury occurred? That is where the liability could come from.

If you absolutely must address it. Just stop the game and have a sub come in. You have more rule support for that than you do a technical foul.
