I believe the OP is not an official.

Well that explains why they didn't call the foul.

I still don't know what they expect anyone here to say. The OP should be asking the school officials why they didn't call EMS.

The OP is NOT an official. He works the table and is very curious, not in a bad way (IMO), as to what officials do, why they do it, etc.

My rub with the OP, and I get the feeling from some of the other posters too (although obviously I don't speak for them) is CHS doesn't seem to like or accept the answers he hears and continues question, pick, disagree, etc. Never seens satisfied with what is said.

Oh well, it's a free world and has made for some interesting banter from a slightly different angle. My $.02.

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'm not convinced that was your motive when you originally posted - I think you changed your perspective once you got a bunch of answers you didn't want to hear. If you wanted a coach's perspective, why didn't you just post the question in a coach's forum?

I am again wondering what answer would satisfy you?

Am just trying to get thoughts &/or opinions on how different people would of handled the situation, if they were in the HC's, player's, &/or parents' shoes.

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.

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).
