As the referee, if there is a player unconscious or apparently unconscious, I am going to let medical personnel make the determination. I am NOT going to touch the player and I am not going to get off the stand unless the delay in resuming play is going to be an extended time-period. I do not need to physically involved to be able to make a determination. As I said previously, the Referee/R1 is an information gatherer. I will make a decision based on the information that I gather from knowledgeable sources.
