Take a look at Patrick Duffy's response in this thread on the NFHS forum.
NFHS Forum: Concussions |
I have now received my copy of the 2010-11 NFHS Soccer Rules Book. I also have taken Part 1 of the NFHS exam and can confirm the answers.
Additionally, I can state that what Patrick Duffy wrote in the thread on the NFHS website is 100% correct.
This year the NFHS has removed the requirement of a written medical release for playing with a cast. Now the only requirement is that it is padded as specified in 4-2-1c.
Furthermore, the NFHS new rules presentation states that there is no written authorization required to return to play following being removed for exhibiting symptoms of a concussion.
Therefore, the correct answers for the 2010-11 test questions above are False and D. The NFHS answer key mistakenly lists 3-3-2b3 as the rules reference for question 17. That is where the unconscious player rule was last season. That language has been eliminated and all of this is now incorporated into 3-3-1c3, but even that doesn't explicitly state what the question asks. The closest statement is on page 107 in the Suggested Guidelines for Management of Concussion, "No athlete should return to play (RTP) on the same day of
concussion."
