Game officials try to stay out of medical matters as much as possible.

When I go in Saturday to work the Wrestling Invite & Boys' Games, I'll ask the AD if any medical attention for the player was sought. I'll just explain that I'm concerned, especially after reading the WIAA Online Rules Clinic & the information regarding the Lystedt Law concerning concussion management in interscholastic activities. I have a couple of Neurological disorders, & I have been told several times never to mess around with an injury to the head.
