Good question.

If the coach's arguement was that it was a minor concussion the converstation would be over pretty quick as the point would have been proven. Major or minor isn't a factor.

However, if the coach argues the player is just dizzy, etc... I would just tell the coach that I am siding on safety. They should hopefully understand that and if they don't then that's too bad. No note, no play.
