Mark, this is a pretty bold statement. Can you show where
the unconsious player rule only applies if the player is rendered unconsious while he's in the game?

Here's the rule from the 2001/2002 book:

2-8-5 ...Determine when a player is apparently unconciuous.
The player may not return to play in the game without
written authorization from a physician.

Although I don't agree with the spirit of his interpretation, MTD is correct that a player is one of the five team members on the court at a given time (4-34-1).

In your case, though, I'm going to deem the kid unconscious the second he steps onto the court!

That's exactly my point.
