A player goes down hard, is on the floor more than a second, I'm the trail and stay with the player, ball turns over and comes back our way. I'm stopping the clock every time. Sometimes the player gets up after collecting herself (it's usually girls) for a few seconds, and can play immediately, sometimes I beckon the coach.

I don't need an injured player, or a possibly injured player, getting run over by the herd just to keep the game moving.

In my game. Safety first.
