Free Throw Disrupted By Fan

I would have asked the fan where the hot dogs and Cokes for my partner and myself were, ?

True story. Girls varsity game at a small rural school, with a great concession stand. Middle of second period, girl falls, and hurts her elbow (turned out to be dislocated). She's screaming in pain. We send both teams to their benches, and the trainer calls an ambulance. This school being way out in the sticks, it took the ambulance about fifteen minutes to get there. Both teams are on their benches, my partner, and I, are on the visitor's bench, and the girl is still on the court, screaming in pain. The EMT's finally get the girl loaded up onto a gurney, and my partner is nowhere to be found. Finally, he comes wandering back from the concession stand, with a hot dog in his hand.
