I am the father of two sons (8 and 11 years of age) who are play basketball and baseball, and swim on our YMCA team. I consider my concern for a player's well being second to none. But, in the posted play, the officials do NOT have the authority to over rule a parent's decision (no matter how misbegotten it is).
I know that my position is not a favorite position, but in this case we legally have no standing in the play.

Mark,I would bet Larks' left one that if you sent a play to the Fed detailing a sub on the bench being knocked unconscious,they would tell you not to let that sub play unless a doctor OK'd it.That's the spirit and intent of the rule,i.e.player safety.
