Getting one's "bell rung", from everything I've read is typically a concussion. You don't mess with concussions.
The way she fell gives me reasonable evidence of "lost consciousness". I'm erring on the side of caution here and there is no way that young woman is taking the floor in this game unless I get a Doctor's note. |

I had a boy's V game a few years back where two guys from the home team went head-to-chin going for a loose ball. Kid who took it on the chin was down and out - and yes, even though I am no medical professional even lowly referee me could tell he was unconscious. After about 10 min. of being taken care of by trainers, he is helped to the bench. I tell coach he is done without a Dr. approval.
Come back out for second half, and coach is waiting for us at the table. Turns out the family doctor was there (had a son on the same team) and "approved" the kid to play. Had them staple the written note into scorebook and away we went. Kid comes off the bench in third quarter and proceeds to wander aimlessly around the court on defense. At a dead ball, I asked him if he was OK and he called me "Dad". I turned to the coach - but he had heard the whole thing and got a sub up. As I turn back to the player, he starts vomiting all over the place. They ended up getting him to the hospital and he missed two weeks with a severe concussion. So the moral is - err on the side of caution. Cause sometimes the coaches (and even the doctor) won't. |
