Seriously, Adam, because of your post I'm now going to ask my state office for clarification on the concussion issue. I went back and checked last year's POE that gave the "proper procedure for handling apparent concussions."
It seems to be written as a directive to the coaching staff, not the game officials.
This procedure did not reappear in the 2007-08 rules book.
I'm going to ask what to do should I as a game official suspect that a player is suffering from a concussion. Perhaps the player was knocked out in a previous game and hasn't fully recovered, but since I did not observe that I would have no idea. What is my role in protecting the safety of that student-athlete?
