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.

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).

I'm just trying to get an appropriate interpretation as to the new Concussion Management regulations, considering it's a state law now. From my understanding, the Lystedt Law is the first of it's kind in the US.

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.
