I was right near the player, I have 7 years experience working in an emergency room and on a trauma team so although I usually don't say too much , I do speak up if I disagree with the coach's way of dealing with the injury. Some trainers are bettter than others and I just want to make sure that a bad decision is not made in a serious injury. But the Dad did yap BEFORE he got to his daughter. Makes you wonder.
