I was asking for thoughts &/or opinions as I was figuring some on here might have coached before becoming officials.
Basically I was asking, if you were in the coach's shoes, how would you have handled the incident? If you've had previous playing experience where something like this happened, what would you, from a player's POV, have wanted the coach to do? The incident happened Tuesday night, I've giving the coach the benefit of the doubt that medical attention will be sought (although I am thinking it should of happened immediately afterwards). When I go in on Saturday to work crowd control for the Wrestling Invite & Scoreboad/Timer/Shot Clock/Crowd Control for the Boys' Basketball Games, I'll be asking the AD if the procedures are being followed as how I understand things & get his input as well. |

I am again wondering what answer would satisfy you? :confused: |

I'm a bit angered at the HC for how he handled the incident, but at the same time the benefit of the doubt should be given as I know he's been HC for at least 20 years. It's because of giving the HC the benefit of the doubt, that I haven't gone up to the school, continually questioning the HC about how he handled the situation. I realize after rereading my original posting that I did leave out some stuff, that I added in later postings. That my reasoning for asking was not being clearly identified. |
Consider that the HC has "been there done that." It's like being a parent. With the first child, you panic at the first sneeze and come running at the first wimper. By the time even your second child is a toddler, you learn wich cries require attention and which ones are best ignored. Do you always make the right choice? No.
Also, your OP insinuated the officials purposefully didn't call something. By your description, a foul should have been called. However, I would bet money the official didn't see it the same way you did, or he would have called the foul. |

Or, both players were jumping into each other and therefore neither could rightfully be called for a foul. All sorts of possibilities. I am glad you recognize that, though.

HC: Evaluate the situation and call for medical / trainer assistance if needed. That was apparently done (and decided it wasn't needed). Players: Get back to the game. Parent: Assess the situation from the stands and decide whether to get involved. Probably not given the information you've given us. No way of determining whether this was done. There's no way for any of us here to decide whether the coach's actions were in any way deficient. That's why none of us has given an answer that you seem to want. And, unless you're trained in this, my advice would be to STFU about it (at your school). |

Like I stated above in my previous post, I'm giving the HC the benefit of the doubt that after the game he took the additional steps needed. When I go in Saturday, I'll be asking the AD if the player's alright, mentioning the fact I am concerned about her health/well being, especially after reading the WIAA Online Rules Clinic section concerning concussion management. This way, I can get an in-person interpretation of what I read, so that I can have a better understanding. My alma matter is located in a small farming community, & I'm sure I'm not the only spectator that's concerned about the player. |

These concerns would be more appropriate for the AD, principal, or school board. |

Look, I like people who do more than the minimum. I don't like people who say, "it's not my job." But, you need to recognize that not every little thing that goes on in the gym is something that you should get involved in. |

I have been rethinking things, & came to the conclusion that I feel that way I do because of having the different neurological conditions, & being told by numerous medical personnel to not take a neurological injury lightly. Like I mentioned, in an earlier post, I'll ask the AD how the player is doing, & stating my reason is due to my reading the new Concussion Management Regulations & my understanding of them, also that I am concerned for her safety. Hopefully, by asking him about the new Concussion Management guidelines, I can get a clarification of the regulation. |

I do have a general question about concussions, though. I don't have my rule book, so I am not sure of the exact wording, but doesn't it say that a player with a concussion may not return without a doctor's permission. Does this mean for that particular game or for any further games? If it is for future games, how do you know? Do any states require the officials to file a report with their assignor when it appears a player received a concussion so that the crew doing the next game is aware? Or is that something that becomes a game management issue that we don't want to deal with. Seems to me it would be very hard for us to enforce and it's something I never had a crew talk about in a pre-game.
