Frankly, I'm much more interested to hear the accusing coach's reason for believing that a trained medical staffer would intentionally misdiagnose a client (probably not correct to call her a "patient") to get a competitive advantage in a game.

These trainers (and I know several personally) are not pulled out of the stands at the last second. They're not "fans". They're there to treat medical problems. If I were this trainer, I would find it almost slanderous to suggest what the coach is saying.

The fact is that the trainer was following STATE LAW by removing the player if the player had blurred vision as a result of a blow to the head. That's a symptom consistent with a concussion; so she's gotta come out of the game and be cleared.

The fact that the coach would actually say out loud that the trainer misdiagnosed the player says more about the coach than it does about the trainer, IMHO.
