From the NFHS Concussion presentation
Recognize the signs or symptoms of a possible concussion and remove the athlete from play
•The responsibility of the official is limited to activities that occur on the field, court, or mat
•Once the participant has been removed from a contest due to a suspected concussion, the coach or appropriate health-care professional(s) assumes full responsibility for that athlete’s further evaluation and safety
•No signed document is needed nor is verification of the appropriate health-care professionals’ credentials
