Odd/usual injuries during basketball games

[VolDoug]

This thread has been highly entertaining !

Considering the OP, saw this yesterday in a BV game.

The official tosses for the opening tip. Home team controls and proceeds to drive to basket and score. The official who tossed immediately went into a "squatting position" and stays there at the circle in that position through the score.

He moves/waddles to the sideline as the ball is coming back up the court. His partner, obviously on his toes, hits the whistle and points at the clock, creating a diversion from what actually occurred.

He walks to the score table, gives a quick explanation, and then he and the other official walk to the "squatter" who now is trying to get upright. After a brief time, he regains his "senses", and play continues on.

First time I had ever seen the tosser get kicked in the privates on the tip. I bet he changes his mechanics for future tosses !

I'll vote for any other post before that one. Interesting, and on topic (unlike 90% of the posts in this thread), but I vote for anything else for the same reason I don't watch America's Funniest Home Videos.

True it's been hijacked a couple of times, but someone takes it back to the original topic.

For the season, I've witnessed the ambulance been called in 3 times, including my fight with the basketball court.
