Sounds like he kicked it more than once - but as stated before - I wasn't there to know exactly what happened or what was said.

Exactly, I am having a hard time visioning this at all. OP needs to obtain video for us to go forward. Disappointed in Juggling Referrees' first response.

There is only one "r" and no space between the g and R.

Edit: This case interested me because I once witnessed a game once where a referee did cause a player injury: the official was way out of position and took a player down with him, resulting in crutches for the player.

In the OP, it says that A1 was airborne when he hit the official. This is, always has been, and always will be the officials fault.

Should there not be an apostrophe.

Still disappointed in your first response. OP's original version, sounded a little convoluted. I agree, officials need to be in correct positions, not only to view the play, but also not to get in the way of the players.

After reading the the OP, I was just not so easily convinced to go against the official as you did.

You're totally correct - and I saw that I missed the apostrophe - well after my post was complete. I try to limit my posts during working hours.

You're too funny.

Isn't that one of the first things you learn as an official... right after "dont keep the whistle in your mouth on the jump ball"

"NEVER retreive the basketball. Always have a player do it for you."

Reguardless of the malice I put that part of it on the ref. He has no way of knowing for sure unless the player said or did somthing to indicate that. His job was to go report the foul. Not pick up the ball.

Just my 2 pennies.
