Man Down Alert!!!

Virginia Tech/Wisconsin Game

Bob Donato (sp?) goes down to the canvas in transition and gets up, wipes off and moves on. That mean Hokie student section laughed at him. Oh, I did a little too.

I've never taken a fall, and hope it never happens. I am knocking on hardwood right now. What is the funniest referee fall you have seen?

[dweigs]

The only time I have personally fell was when I was doing a JV Football game. The play was a sweep play that was coming towards my sideline and as I started running up the sideline myself the person doing the sticks dropped them like they should have but towards the field instead of away from the field. I did a barrel roll over the sticks popped back up and then threw a 15 yard personal foul flag.

I was knocked over working a croquet match. An errant shot hit me right in the crumpets. OUCH!

Were you the lead, or the trail?

I was the center - of attention, that is.

Had a partner with bad ankles lose it on a transition steal. I was at lead, he was trail. As I got to the baseline I glance up to see which side the ball is coming down on and there he is, sprawled out on the court like a turtle on his back. Poor felle. Happened about the 6:00 mark in the first in front of the student section and - gasp- his 13 year old daughter!!!
