I'm not a lawyer or a legal expert but I believe the common practice is to name everyone in a suit that might possibly be even remotely connected. In a case like this the lawyers might name to school district, coaches, trainers, officials, equipment makers, EMS people, doctors, etc., etc. Then, as discovery goes on, they drop defendents from the law suit.

That's one huge reason why I join NASO. Even if I'm not really involved in some problem, I still may get sued and have to hire a lawyer to represent me.
