During a game last weekend, a Toledo basketball player became a hero after successfully conducting CPR on a ref who collapsed in the middle of a game.

The terrifying incident was captured on video, when a ref faltered and crumpled to the floor during the Toledo Glass City’s game against the Jamestown Jackals on June 11.

As seen in the video, referee John Sculli was immobile for several moments before Glass City’s Myles Copeland rushed over to assist.

Copeland, who is also a firefighter, told ESPN that he didn’t really feel Sculli’s pulse or see him breathing, so he began CPR with the assistance of another ref till paramedics came.

And, thanks to his actions, Sculli, who has been reffing for nearly 40 years, did survive and is now scheduled to have a surgical procedure this week to correct his health problems.
