I've been fortunate in hoops. I think the worst I've had was my first year -- frosh (or JV) kid comes down with a rebound and blows out his knee. He was in some serious pain.
In football, we had a compound leg fracture this year in a JH game. Poor kid. I think he was in shock as much as everyone else who saw it (a coach fainted) and the ambulance idiot says, "oh my God!" when he comes up on him (as if that helped the situation). I'll always think of him as one tough kid. I was playing flag football in college when something bizarre and dangerous, but a little funny happened. I was lined out wide on defense against this receiver. They were close to scoring but I don't think the team realized where they were (lighting wasn't the best). About 10 or so yards beyond the end line (no goalposts) there's this soccer goal moved back. So this dude takes off on a post route and I'm thinking he's running a decoy. Nope, he was expecting the pass and was looking back all the way thinking he had beaten me. I turn around and see him get all of a post on that soccer goal, so I'm on him. He's out cold. Someone runs for help and pretty soon, he comes to. By then, everyone else is standing around. I said, "hey man, are you OK?" He says, "yeah, I'm OK but where's my guitar?" I said "stay there and don't move!" |

Parental Ejections
Last summer I had an ejection in a varsity girls summer league game while the league director was in his office icing a calf muscle down because he had just reffed the prior game. Table crew consists of me, my clock operator, and a visiting bookkeeper. Dad is consistently complaining about how the crew is not calling double-dribble on opponent's point guard. One of them finally has enough at about 5 minutes in the first half. They both come to the table and tell me to get this guy out of here or this game is over. So I go up and escort the guy out and while we are walking outside he tells me "You guys run a horrible league" or something to that effect.
