Ok, so here is my next question. What is the process, or is there even a process, to ATTEMPT to get the NFHS to amend the rule (I know I'm a little fish in a HUGE pond)? I think if the player is unconscious, he or she should not play for the rest of the game. I think that would be a fair proposal that will take any liability out of the official's hands.
With several of the rules designed for player safety, how in the world can they justify allowing a player that was unconscious earlier in the game to come back in EVEN WITH A DR NOTE? It doesn't make sense to me. At very least suspend the player from playing for the duration of the game!
