For the record, concussions were included as the #1 POE in that season. As far as I know POEs are definitely for the officials as well as the school coaches and administrators.

2006-07 POINTS OF EMPHASIS

1. Concussions (See page 71)
2. Uniforms. Last season the NFHS Basketball Rules Committee was concerned with the use of uniforms ...

I will support it from a common sense point of view and words stated by our interpreters. There is nothing as officials we do to tell or diagnose a concussion. For the record this was mentioned in just about all the major NF sports with the same information that very same year. It was made clear to us that this was about the coaches and the schools and training staffs, not the officials. Officials do not tell someone they have a concussion and not allow players to play as a result. Even in #4 of the Action Plan, there is nothing that says this has to be verified by us as officials. And unless you have shown something, there are no rules referenced in that POE. So these are at best guidelines, not rules.
