I have been run into many times, but I have never fallen. I guess I am lucky so far.

Got up and continued to move to the lead position as if nothing happened. But it took me a couple of trips down to get that out of my system.

My experience was much like this one....only on the opposite side of the court in front of the stands. To make matters worse, it wasn't even a fast break.

I'm trail, jogging alongside the point guard bringing the ball upcourt and just went down.

I still contend that the centerline was painted thicker than the rest of the lines!!!!:D

My partner & I were officiating MS girls game last year.. happened to be the school I went to down in another town... He was lead on a steal, and was backpedaling, tripped, fell, his heels touched the ground BEHIND his head, and then was ran over by 3 girls. I actually managed to get the game tape from the Home Team, but it doesnt show it all, so I am going to try to find somebody that taped the game from the visiting team (my town), so 20 years down the road I can show it to him and laugh! haha
