Feeling around here was similar, that coaches who, according to the state, could serve as "approved health care provider" would put us in a compromising position and send in a concussed player who shouldn't re-enter. As it turns out, they seem to be so leery of potential lawsuits coming down upon them, they've just been benching the player and it hasn't become an issue to any of us. So far. But based on what I'm seeing and what the AD's around here are mandating from their coaches, it won't be an issue near as I can tell.
State legislature is in the middle of passing a bill to require what happens to be our state association's protocol to cover non-school sports as well. Seems to me that if both the state legislature and our state association pass policies which keep us out of the diagnosis, there's something valid about it that protects us.
