Mine was similar to eyezen. The FIRST BV game I ever did. Home team was up by quite a few in the 4th, then the opponents came back and made a game out of it. I'm T with about 2:20 left, V grabs a steal, going coast to coast. H player comes to defend, the ball handler makes a quick stop, the defender leaps into the air, BH ducks to avoid the brunt. H player goes over the top, falls on his head, shoulder, neck, back quad point, and starts seizing. All this while I'm +/- 5 feet away. Needless to say, teammates are freaking out seeing their teammate in such a situation. At the time, all I could think to do is "push" the players back away from the downed player. Thanks to a freak snowstorm, ambulance takes 30 minutes to arrive. V team gives up and declared forfeit.
Ever since that game, I have always wanted to be prepared for just a freaky incident, regardless whereever I might be. So, that following spring, I got certified in First Responder, which is the basics; Airway, Breathing, Circulation. In the case described, at least I would have had the forethought to toss a towel or a jacket underneath the kid's head. But if it is life/death (and I know this will tick some of you off) the stripes come off, and I help the kid. Not for a twisted ankle, not for a bloody nose, but something that requires paramedics, AED's, CPR, etc.
