Is there a Dr. in da house

How would you guys handle the situation? Personally I would tell the coach when he gives me his replacement right after the injury so both the coach and the ATC know that he is not coming back unless there is a note from an MD. From the original post it sounded as if the umpire stayed silent on the situation, thus creating the confusion.

In Ontario we do have a similar procedure in place, however it is enforced by the school staff as it calls for the athlete not to participate in any activity until cleared. Activity means practice and/or game and the athlete sits out until cleared not just for the day.
