Incident

[Terrapins Fan]

You always pray you don't have an incident. I usual literally pray that I don't. Last night I didn't pray. But I did have a bad incident. 18 secs to go in the 3rd quarter a player goes down from the home team on the baseline. I am the lead. Ball is rebounded and a fast break starts. I stay close to the player till the play ends, my partner going to lead sees what has happened and stops the play. It's a 21 point contest, so no big deal. The home player dislocated or separated his shoulder. The game was delayed for 30 minutes waiting for the ambulance to remove him from the floor.

I wasn't sure if I should have stopped the play right away or not. I knew he was hurt, it's just one of those plays you don't see very often. I was glad my partner stopped the play, not that 3 or 4 seconds would make any difference.
