It will come one way or another. In my case, unfortunately, it came because of a nasty incident that I missed. A2 and B2 had a thing going most of the game. I was L on the strong side in a 2-man crew. A1 shoots an air ball from the side of the basket and it goes into the weak side. I close down on it leaving my back to A2 and B2. The next thing I hear is a loud thump and A2 is on the floor. Fans, players and coaches are going nuts and neither my partner nor I have a clue as to what happened.
Stopped the clock to get things quieted down. Called both coaches over and had to admit that I did not see what happened. From the coaches I learned that A2 threw an elbow into B2 chest. B2 after a split second grabs A2s arm and flips her. Yes, this was a girls game. It turns out that B2 was taking some sort of self-defense course and put it to use. One of the coaches suggested, dont remember which, that if the other coach would pull his player for the rest of the game he would do the same. We went with the arrow and restarted the game.
