Duke - Louisville Video request

[stiffler3492]

We always sort of joke about only stopping play right away for blood or for a bone sticking out of a leg. It's a real shame that happened to Kevin Ware. I don't think I'll be joking about that anymore.

This game would be so fun to officiate. Stuff going on everywhere.

Will still joke about that. This sounds like this is more of a football injury than anything. I have never seen an injury that bad in basketball. Had a dislocated ankle take place in a game once, but that sounds minor to what I am hearing about this injury. I just pray for the kid and his family and his recovery.

Peace

It's the sort of injury that could end a career.

Foul at 9:12, shot waved off. I think it's the right call.

Scenario: If Ware had been fouled during a shot attempt (and that visible leg injury occurs), who shoots the FTs?

Opposing coach's pick from the other four players. There's no exception in the rules for a compound fracture.

Unless there was blood on Ware's leg from the injury, you are correct.

Is there an exception for a bloody injury in the rule?

I have been. There have been a lot of tough calls, and they got almost all of them right, IMO.

Funny you say that, I was asked about that from a person in a class about someone using fake blood. All I could do is, "" as my expression. And yes, he was serious.
