You did the right thing. When in doubt, sit them out.
Exactly....and they're probably different in every state.

Oregon...we send them to the bench. If it is a private school, they're done for the game. If it is a public school, the coach can send them back in. If we observe concussion like behavior, we can send them back out. But the onus is on the coach to manage the situation.

Yeah, I know, but that is how the law came out...there are parties trying to fix the differential treatment between public and private.
