Down goes player.

It has never happened to me in my 16 years of working games at any level or any type of game. And as I stated I was actually the new lead not the new trail.

It was a first in 25 years for me when I got clipped as the new lead a few weeks ago. Except *I* went down and the kid got the ball a second later and finished a layup. I've gone down before, but not because of player contact.

I didn't make it 25 years, but this year was my first such situation , and I also was the one who went down.

Well you're good for half a take down next time.

I swear I heard a whistle right before he crashed into you...

[just another ref]

I actually had a deal which might be even worse. Bad pass, not close to anybody, headed out of bounds. I reached out to catch it, didn't handle it cleanly, and it bounced off my hand and stayed inbounds. I blew the whistle and pointed in the opposite direction. Coach protested briefly, and then let it go.

Supported by rule? no Just one of those things.

Knowing you and where you are in your career, it's no biggy given the score. If it happened to be me in a ccl game same score situation , I could be called in on the carpet(probably not though).

For that reason, I would have just gone OOB, as we are part of the court.

That said, at my age it would have been me down or in the second row.

As a clinician and a board member, if I was watching your game and this happened to you, I would only ask you what happen and how you fell? I seriously doubt I would have been complaining about this either way unless I had a rule that was clearly not applied. I could not think of one so I did what I did. And I have still yet to get one that has convinced me otherwise in this discussion.

I probably would give you more crap of falling or making a player fall (as long as everyone was OK of course).

Peace
