3-3-8 says player who shows signs of concussion (including LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS) shall not return until cleared by appropriate health care professional. nothing else. it directs you to the concussion guidelines which say "no player should return to play or practice on same day as concussion."
Again nothing about physician or writing.
As i said earlier, if a player loses consciousness in my game he will not play again in it. The answer to your question, however, is false as it pertains to officials. We aren't even supposed to verify anything as the case play BNR set out shows, --much less get a writing from a physician etc. maybe that is a requirement for a coach…i've never seen it. just another irritating question….
