I wouldn't worry too much about this. No doctor is going to let anyone play who's been unconcious. [/QUOTE]
Not true...had one in a boy's Varsity game several years back...two kids from home team slam heads together - one top of head to other's chin going for rebound...chin-boy hits ground and doesn't move - he is out cold. That was in the first quarter...paramedic in stands comes down and takes care of him...when we come out of locker room for 3rd quarter, coach is waiting with a note from a doctor (kid's dad took him down the street to an office) and wants the kid to play. Kid had an obvious concussion, but he tried to play...during a dead ball, I asked him who he was guarding and he told me #53...there was no #53 on the other team...coach overheard and finally took him out.
As far as the note - we had BOTH coaches and the scorer sign it, and then stapled it to the page of the scorebook.
