I've also had coaches come to me before a game and tell me that "#4 is deaf" or "#44 has ...." That's fine. But I did to have that written in the scorebook.

In today's litigious society, a very wise thing to do,
as you know you need to cover your back.

The state association says thats the way it is, that is the final word.

The technical foul would be as a result of the timeout created by deception of the team to stop play for the lens which wasn't in the book that put them over the limit (5). I have never seen it happen.

The athletic trainers are aware of the health history of their own players but are only there to attend to players injured on the visiting team. NFHS rules do not require an athletic trainer at games.
