Not sure what you're saying here. Are you suggesting that since Billy isn't an MD he can't recognize the signs of a concussion? You're right, of course, that just because the kid gets hit in the head does not mean he has a concussion. However, if Billy sees the hit to the head, followed by the player getting back up and stumbling in a way he hasn't before, and there's no obvious reason for the stumbling...sounds to me like Billy needs to be really, really careful to do what's right for the kid here.
