Peace

Agree with Rut, it looks like she's attempting to pass. Thought she got hit with the ball the first time I looked. This does not look malicious to me, just something that sometimes happens in basketball. Too bad she didn't try to help her up the first time, but who teaches sportsmanship these days? Another question in this situation as the official, would you rule she needs a doctor approval to continue playing? She looks unconcious to me and that is what I would rule.

From the video, she appears to me to lose conciousness when she falls to the floor.

No reasonable coach is going to put that player back in the game before getting checked out anyway, but in my game it's going to require a doctor's note.

Yes....I wouldn't let her back in without a doc's approval.

Yes, she is going to need doctor's approval if I am on the game. If she is not unconscious, I do not know what she is after falling out like that.
