If they do, they'd better make it out some material that doesn't corrode. Or rust. Kevlar might do it. Might.....

If you break both of your legs, don't come running to me.

Has its advantages, though. Makes it real easy to check if a partner is on b/c or not.

Ms. No-name, first of all, you received a rather unhelpful reception because this is a forum for referees. We generally talk about rules and situations within games that happen to us. We don't usually spend a lot of time thinking about the questions that you asked.

Second, you questions are a little vague. I'm guessing that you're asking about the risks to your child in playing organized basketball. The risks are similar to any organized athletic activity. There's the chance for twisted ankles and knees, I've seen a chipped tooth, cuts and bumps and bruises. Sometimes, very rarely, these injuries can be severe.

The level of supervision varies widely, depending on the organization that sponsors the games. Sometimes only one adult is available to supervise at games and practices. In a high school setting, there are usually at least two coaches supervising.

Thanks Scrapper1, im not asking about my child playing basketball coz i have no children i asked this question coz i need this for school..

True, and we'd be glad to answer your questions from our officiating perspective, but as we pointed out several times, we weren't sure what you were asking. Go back to the first three or four responses, see what we said, and then come back and ask your question again. YOu'll get helpful responses if you ask your question in a way we can answer.

For basketball there is no supervision required, no risks involved.

Maybe you should try the baseball forum?

Let me guess -- you are working on a paper and want others to do the work for you, right?

Yes, my judgment is that good.
