Unfortunately, we've had two such local incidents lately:

Earlier this yr, a coach had a heart attack and went down during a TO in the huddle with his team, and just the other day a girl went down on her head and was out for quite a while - both games were stopped and the last one was actually forfeited as the team was losing by about 20.

Longest delay for me was when a girl dislocated her elbow. Small town. It took the ambulance about twenty minutes to get there, and the girl screamed the entire time. It took them another twenty minutes to strap her down, and she screamed the entire time.

Players were allowed to do whatever wanted for about forty minutes. My partner actually got a hot dog from the concession stand and ate it on the visitor's bench.

After the injured player was carted away, we let them shoot layups for about five minutes.

Man that is one gutsy partner! I don't feel like eating during the game and especially if somebody is hurt. Dislocated knees or shoulders gross me out!

Was your partner's name Mark Sanchez by chance? You would think he would be busy with other things that time of the year!

Thanks for all the replies. I agree with everyone that allows it, but just wasn't sure if there was any rule reference or case. I guess not.
Thanks.
