As the player finally recovered and got to her feet, the coach began to escort her to the bench. Her dad came around the side of the court and then to the endline to help her off the court and to go to the bathroom and outside for some fresh air.

TWEET. Game back on.

I know we've had this discussion before, but under these circumstances, I don't think I would have done anything if dad/mom came on the court to administer to their injured child.

My last weekend of AAU basketball a kid landed on his head and most definitely suffered a concussion. Sent the players to the their benches (to sit down if they so desired) and then advised the coaches that there was absolutely no rush at all to get the player up. We then stood back from the activity until the player was removed from the court. One adult from the stands came on the court to tend to the hurt player. I didn't concern myself one bit with that person.
