Good idea keeping a mental list of disqualifying acts. I don't know if your list is complete, but I do see an error. By rule, concussions don't keep a player out of the game. Also, by rule, a player who is unconscious must come out of the game, unless a written note by a physician says the he, or she, can play. Note that I said a physician, not a coach, not a trainer, not an EMT, not a paramedic, not a parent, not a firefighter, not a police officier, not a site director, not a school principal, not a dentist, not a priest, not a funeral director, etc.

The concussion issue came up last year. At first it appeared that officials were responsible to remove a player with a concussion from a game, but the NFHS came out with a clarification, that it was the coach's responsibility.
