referee injured during game

[nwhoopfan]

I honestly can't remember ever seeing that occur before. With so many knee injuries to players this season, I guess it shouldn't be surprising to have a ref go down with a knee injury as well. That's why they have alternate.

ACL ?

 

[JellyBean]

Yeah that looked scary! Hope she is okay.

 

[Geew1992]

ACL ?

Looks that way

 

[nalepin]

At the Chicago regional a guy came out to do a fun competition at a timeout and slipped and fell. He had to be helped off the floor

 

[huskeynut]

Yes to ACL. She was running down the sideline when her knee buckled.

 

[bballnut90]

First time I've seen that....gotta feel bad for her. Hope it isn't as bad as it looks.

I thought the game was well officiated

When I saw that young woman go down I almost threw up. Non contact injuries are nearly always the worse, as with Gordon Hayward. When I see most injuries on the playing field no matter the team my first response is always, "Come on, please get up". I could see she wasn't getting up soon from that. I wish her the best of all luck in her recovery and I'm sure we all hope to see her back to work soon. I hope it's just a meniscus.

Hey at one of the Men's games years ago--a ref died and they scrambled to fill the void. We were told by denouncement at Half time the ref died.

Yep. I agree with this. Thank you NCAA for making that happen.

 

[hoopsfan22]

Any word on the hurt ref? She was taken out in a wheelchair, so I'm thinking the worst unfortunately. On the court she was really in pain.

 

[BRS24]

Ick. I've done ACLs in both knees. I couldn't watch the replay, made the hubby do it. There was another ref many years ago that fell during a game, thought nothing of it, got up and tried to run, and then the knee went all crazy. Horrible. Wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Basile made a few head scratchers to me, but at least Dee wasn't there.

Back in 2010, in San Antonio, didnt 2 Unconn players crash into a court side photographer and break his leg? I think it was a practice before the game

That is absolutely horrible. Heart attack?

I didn't find any articles on Google. I did see references to a hockey ref dying a week after a collision in a game and a soccer ref dying during a game but not a basketball ref.

Comparing the ref's injury to Hayward's is way beyond apples and oranges... more like apples to freakin' planets! If it weren't for surrounding soft tissues, Gordon's foot might have come completely off. He was coming down off a running leap under the basket in traffic, not jogging up the sideline. You could hear the bone break on the audio. I won't post the video out of deference to people who just ate dinner.

Other than that, I agree with you 100%. These games are a big deal for the refs too, and I'm sure she only wanted to go out and call a great game. Probably never anticipated that something like that could happen. Hope she recovers quickly and completely.

I think it was Lorin Dixon and a teammate who were just having fun racing around the court before a game and collided with the guy. Does that sound familiar, or am I just hallucinating?

Yeah I think she was one of the players. It was as they went around a corner of the court.

Clearly you misunderstood my comment, so I'll restate. "Non contact injuries are nearly always the worse, as with Gordon Hayward('s)". No where did I say, "Non contact injuries are nearly always the worse and this is exactly like Gordon Hayward's injury" How or why you could have possibly misconstrued the two widely disparate comments I'll leave to your own self examination.

I hope it's 40 years from now, but that's how I'm going to go and it will be at a basketball game, probably while crazily trying to distract on free throws.

Sorry you took my comment so negatively... Might as well point out that Hayward was taken out mid-air by two Cleveland players forcing his upper body backwards and rolling the ankle so severely that the bone snapped. "Non-contact"?

How or why you could have possibly conflated these two widely disparate events I'll leave to your own self examination. -30-

Yes you're mostly right. I guess it wasn't exactly like Gordon Hayward's. There was however no direct contact with Hayward's ankle or knee with a player. The contact made with both of these injuries occurred with the floor. That is what caused their injuries.
