I wouldn't worry too much about this. No doctor is going to let anyone play who's been unconcious.

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. [/QUOTE]
Sheesh! Talk about really bad parenting!!!
I can only wonder if this same zeal is used when the kid wakes up and claims he's "sick" and has to stay home. "Sick? Damn, let's rush you over to the Doc's office so you won't have to miss any school." Yep, I wonder...
