Let's go through this sequence again.

I have no idea where Altor is located. Therefore, the default assumption is that he is inquiring about NFHS rules.

This statement does not have any qualifier, such as "in my state" or "in NY state"...
Thus it looks as if the poster is providing a general answer for everyone.

Any player who exhibits signs, symptoms or behaviors consistent with a concussion (such as loss of consciousness, headache, dizziness, confusion, or balance problems) shall be immediately removed from the game and shall not return to play until cleared by an appropriate health care professional. (See NFHS Suggested Guidelines for Management of Concussion in Appendix A on page 76.)

I didn't write that the poster or his particular state was incorrect in what they may do, rather I very specifically noted that the statement was wrong "by NFHS rules" and included the NFHS citation.
Had either of the previous posters asked for or noted a specific state regulation, I wouldn't have bothered to post. As it was the response was clearly misleading and confusing to anyone not familiar with his specific area.
