What does the foul not being called have to do with a sitaution getting worse because an unrelated player (not directly involved in foul) got injured? You put the two things together, I just wanted to understand why. Simple question. You sound like a coach.

Peace
I believe the only one confused here is you...how can you refer to an unrelated player?? Where did that come from?? How can you say he was not directly involved in the foul??? He's laying on the floor, someone jumps on top of him and sticks their finger in his eye, but he's not directly invovled in the foul??? I don't have a clue where you are coming from on this...does anyone else??
I do. Even if the official called the foul, the player would still be injured. So the fact that he's injured has nothing to do with whether or not a foul should be called. We aren't going to start giving out two pity free throw attempts for every injured player. Besides, most of us coaches wouldn't trade our top player for two free throw attempts!
