I also agree with both Billy and Snaqer...I coach HS football, and my sons are on the team. My Senior son this past season took a vicious hit (legal) on a crackback type block and went down like a bag of rags and didn't move. As soon as the whistle sounded to end the play, I was out there. He was OK - just had his bell rung really loudly (no concussion or anything). Anyway, as I was walking off the field with him, the White Hat stopped me and told me that next time I had better wait for him to call me onto the field or he would flag me for USC. My response was to ask him if he even saw the kid go down - and he said no. So I told him to do what he had to do, I was going to take care of my players...I'm willing to take that consequence to make sure my players are OK.
