TIME OUT or PLAY ON?

The question goes beyond its affect on the play. It's how much risk is involved; and would it be a case of gross-negligence if an injury were to occur?

That's why we get paid the big bucks It's been my experience you get fewer arguments from girl's FP people for killing a play rather then men's SP when it comes to safety issues.
