Exclamation

I'm just saying, for example, if A1 goes up for a shot/rebound/loose ball whatever, and gets hit in the head, falls to the floor, or falls to the floor and hits his head, and appears to me to be unconscious (eyes closed, not moving, non-responsive), that player is not coming back into my game without a note from a doctor saying he can. Rule 2, Section 8, Art. 5 Officials' Additional Duties, The officials SHALL "determine when a player is apparently unconscious. The player may not return to play in the game without written authorization from a physician (MD/DO)". That gives an official the ability to make that call.
