I know in football it is required that we "observe" the actions of the medical professionals in order to determine if the proper things are done to insure the health of an injured player. I believe we are suppose to do the same thing as it relates to basketball (at least by practice). So do we have the same responsiblity with a cheerleader? Does states have rules or practices that cover this?

Rut,
I don't think anyone is gonna benefit by my observing the professionals.
Sounds, to me, like Illinois wants to give the appearance of propriety.

According to the NF in Football, we are suppose to observe the medical technicians, to make sure that they are doing their jobs (not that I would know what that is). We are also to make sure that people that are not qualified are not intefering with the process. This came from the NF and their publication with Referee Magazine that they produce before every season in all the sports. Not an Illinois thing at all. But we were instructed to follow that philosophy. I was wondering if we had the same ideal in basketball. It probably just has not been an issue, mainly because basketball is not a sport where injuries happen several times a game that often.
Peace
