Injury Prevention Survey

[Kelvin green]

First
shows a complete lack of understanding of the role of a basketball official or official in any sport

Second

This will never get any statistically valid results or samples. I wonder what this University actually teaches

I agree with Mark. Made no sense what so ever.

[Mark Padgett]

I just took it and I absolutely agree with the others that the people who made this thing up do not have the correct understanding of the role of the official at a game. We are there to administer the rules, not act as the kid's "Daddies" and keep them from getting a "boo boo".

They ought to give this questionnaire to parents and coaches.

I took the survey...didn't take long. There were a few questions about concussions.

There was enough space to clarify that officials are there to enforce the rules, not make people coaches, fans, etc. happy.

Some rules are in place are to reduce the likelihood of injury. When play is stopped for an injury, we do make them come out of the game.

I'm not sure if the survey author understands that we rely on trainers to determine whether players that have hit their heads have a concussion or not.

I received an email yesterday afternoon asking, that since I had completed the survey, if I would like to take part in a focus group with regard to the survey.

Since I drank the kool aide (and retired, ) I have no choice but to take part in the focus group, thereby carrying in to battle the hopes and dreams of every member who also took the survey.

I will keep everybody posted with regard to what happens in the focus group.
