the 2nd approach makes sense as I was writing it.
Anyway, thanks for your thoughts.

This does not fit the policy that we follow. If you did not observe anything, then you have nothing. And I would not do anything until I personally observed the player doing something weird nor has those symptoms from your observations. This is why I hate this rule or the fact that we are responsible for this on some level. Football is a tough game and I am sure players get concussions without us noticing them (and I know they do from my playing experience). I guess you could inform the coach and just let the coach know that you did not observe anything and that you are not requiring the player to sit out. I think that is the most you can do.
Peace
