I'm not looiking for any specific response...just curious to see other officials experiences and/or opinions on the matter.
As usual...I agree with Jurassic's and Bob Jenkins response.
That was pretty much the same thing I told the official that was involved. Sure the Coach SHOULD have told the officials BEFORE the game...but, he didn't. Therefore, I would err on the side of caution...when a player's health could be involved. I give the TO for injury and the player will be removed. NOW...does that player get to come back into the game without a written Doctor's permission. (Not unlike a concussion)
That is what I have e-mailed our Eastern Washington Clinician about...and am waiting for a response. I have also got with our Assignor and asked him to see about the school getting a Doctor's note, for this player, to have on file PRIOR to the game.
BTW...this player played football for the school in the fall...and my football official friends have never seen or heard about a physical condition he has.
