Dont run away from it, Copelandshares, referring to his training for his day job as a firefighter.

And its the player’s quick reaction time that ultimately saved Scullis life.

Basketball Player Hero Saves Referee From Heart Attack During Game

I worked on him for about 10 minutes before the paramedics were able to get there, Copelandexplains.

And by the time help arrived, the trained first responder had already helped the referee regain consciousness.

Sculli was even joking that he was going to head back in and finish reffing the game.

And now his future is looking very bright as he continues on the road to recovery.

Hopefully, he will be out there reffing more games very soonall thanks to his hero in basketball shorts.

But no matter what his performance as a player, Copeland will always be Scullis MVP.

Miles, my heart literally goes out to you for saving my life, Sculli latersharedfrom his hospital bed.

You are my hero.
