and folks wonder why we call it "wreck" ball...

Just a few weeks ago, 6th grade competitive (as if the "competitive" part means anything to anyone but the coaches): 59.6 secs left in the game and fast break where I become the trail. There's 1 defender (B1) matching the dribbler (A1) stride for stride.

Both players go straight up, but there's definitely some contact by the defender on the arm of A1. My P has the whistle as the shooter goes down hard to the floor and then screams. My P is turning to report the foul, so I run to the downed player...and his left knee is about the size of a cantalope when I kneel down next to him. Completely dislocated. The coach is hollering for an intentional and my P is trying to calm him down while I flag the boys' parents out of the stands.

Suddenly, parents of team A are alternating screaming at parents of team B for "playing dirty" and my P and I for letting the game get out of hand. Parents of team B are screaming back that it was just "good" foul. A1 is screaming because he's in pain. It was an Excedrin 3 night all around.

I've broken some bones in my time, but I have never seen something swell up so big and ugly as fast as this dislocated knee.
