It takes a doctor to determine or at least a Physical Trainer to determine these things, not an official. Even in the NF policy it only asks officials to remove players from the game, we do not determine if they have or do not have a concussion.
I have had football games where they individual was wobbling off the field when medical personnell attended to them only to be told, "They do not have a concussion." And nothing I saw in this game with George looked any worse or over the top to what I have seen on the football field. And it is very possible that George was concussed and needed to not play, but it sounds like there is very little consideration in basketball as it relates to football.
