Makes sense. Course you'd know more about evaluating than I, ...and how poorly evaluators communicate with their charges. I assume you speak evaluatorese? mick |

As I stated originally, I am going to err on the side of safety and stop play. I am not a trained medical person, but I am liable for that particular game. If a kid goes down and I have any question about the severity of a possible injury, I'm stopping play and getting the coach out there to handle the kid. If he pops up and is fine a few minutes later, great, we move on. If, on the other hand, there is a serious injury, I've fulfilled my responsibility by stopping play and getting the coach out there to take care of the player. I guess my point is that I can't always tell the severity of the injury at first glance with the younger kids, so I will be quicker to stop play. |
At most of the camps I have been to, we've always been told to "treat it like a regular season game." However, I find that hard to do when it comes to injuries. At camp, I would have done the same as you did Crew.
During the season, I would have only stopped the game if I felt that the injury was serious. If the player was able to walk off the floor on his own power I'd probably wait til' a dead ball or until his team regained control. Z P.S. As far as younger kids go, I'm stopping if I even think they might be hurt or if the cry. Better safe then sorry when it comes to kids. |

As far as I'm concerned an obviously hurt player heading to
the bench is the same as a player on the floor. If A was not moving the play towards the basket then blow the ball dead. You done good, IMO. Could it be that the evaluator thought that A was moving the ball upcourt aggressively? Obviously in that case you should bite your whistle. |

Officiating in itself puts at a liability risk. You can get sued for anything. You especially can get sued for not calling fouls or not calling the right fouls. I do not see this play blowing the whistle as changing anything. If a kid is really hurt, whether we stop play or not stop play might not matter. But that is the way I see it. Peace |

Mick,
I had heard of a lawyer in the area that was giving seminars on how to "Sue Sports Officials." I am sure that there were many more things that were involved than just hurt players. Or at least that is what I heard.
Peace |
Atty.

I sure hope I don't get sued to make up for the gambling losses owed to some Chicago bookie. Scary thought. :( Besides, I thought they were yelling, "Boo, boo!" and now its "Sue, Sue!" ?!??!! Yuck! |
