Caught One in the Brain Bucket......

[chartrusepengui]

Sat night - VB game. Trail in 2 person. Skip pass intended on going to corner but D post player takes a good swing and bats ball (open hand) towards me. I had a little time so I took step towards sideline. A1 and B1 are charging after the ball. A1 trips and ended up taking me out at the knees. I faceplant onto the court.

I hear ball bouncing and coach yelling something like "come on call a foul". Next thing I hear is ***'t coaches laughing and trying to tell HC that I couldn't make a call because all I could see were the lines on the court, knees and elbows. When I was able to get up - he just kind of grinned at me. We came out at the half to see half his players with towels on their knees wiping the floor. Partner asked if something had been spilled. He smiled at me and said they were just trying to "rub down the lines" as some must have been too high to step over.

We all had a good laugh. I just know this is going to haunt me some more this season.
