Horrible. Just horrible.

Because you might break your wrist like I did. Stupid move. About 4 years ago, I was working in a church gym (old, tile floor, uneven). I was the trail - quick steal - and now, instead of turning and looking over my shoulder, I backpedalled and lost my balance on the uneven floor. The good thing is I put my hand down so I wouldn't hit my head, but I broke the wrist right at the base of the thumb. I am right handed and I had to wear a cast for about 9 weeks. I learned to officiate left handed while I had the cast on.
