Thanks for the posts. Very helpful discussion. The sad thing is that, even though some of your are pointing towards a doctor NEVER allowing it (not to mention someone posted an actual story where it happened), I can see it happening because high school basketball has become about wins and losses. If this happened to a Kobe-esque player in the state semi's or something, I could definately see it happening.
Next question. I know the book says unconscious= must have doctors note. What about major concussive symptoms. The player is not on the floor with the eyes closed, but he or she has no clue where they are, etc. Is that worty of the doctor note procedure?
Basically, if the eyes are not closed on the while the player is laying on the floor, do I still need to require a Dr. note? A major concussion might as well be unconsious, IMO.
I just want to make myself perfectly understand this situation. In my short time as an official, I have learned that as soon as there is something I am not 100% clear on, it seems to find me on the court. Thanks.
