“Obviously, if it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be here.”
JAMESTOWN, N.Y. - Quick action on a basketball court is common, but in the case of an incident in New York, a “fast break” by one player saved the life of a referee who suffered a major heart attack and passed out during a game.
When referee John Sculli collapsed during a game two months ago, footage of the game shows the player didn’t miss a beat.Copeland immediately starts giving CPR and continued compressions for fourteen minutes until an ambulance arrives. It might have been his training kicking in, since Copeland’s used to answering the call of duty as a firefighter with the Toledo Fire Department.“Obviously, if it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be here,” Sculli, said.He said the odds of surviving a major heart attack like he did are 1%.Following a successful quadruple bypass surgery, Sculli is spending some time with his fiancée, slowing down and recovering, but says he’ll be back on the court reffing games again soon.
