while you may play the role of basketball official many evenings during the winter, don't pretend to be a medical professional....if you have a question about it, ask the trainer/medical staff at the game; don't make that judgement on your own.

That is complete garbage...I don't need to be a medical professional to determine that a player appears to lose consciousness. Especially in this video. That kid is leaving and not coming back in without a doctor's approval, and I don't need to ask anyone's permission to do that.

And if you can't tell she appears to lose consciousness from the video, then maybe you need a bigger screen to help with that eyesight problem.

Agree totally, PEA seems to have his panties in a bind. I havent' had to make an "unconscious" call yet, that's why I was asking. This forum has correctly guided me in a lot of areas, PEA's post is one of the few that I could do without.

Agreed. Besides, wouldn't you rather err on the side of the player's safety rather than saying "Well, I'm no doctor, so I guess she can play..."

I'd rather not have the responsibility; but....

No way did she lose consciousness. She just got her bell rung and didnt want to jump right up. So she laid there for about 3-5 seconds. Ive seen unconscious and bell rung. That is clearly bell rung. Im not stepping in doo unless I have to - I will ask the coach if he wants to sub her out.

also if a player is unconscious you will see all her teammates on the floor calling for help. They will most likely be giving the univeral sign for "someone get your rear end here shes out cold" which we all know is the furious cand wave to call someone over...

People that get their bell rung usually just don't fall flat on their face after getting up. That player is done until I get a Dr's note.

Did you watch all the way to the end of the video? I agree...I don't think she lost consciousness right away. I think she lost consciousness when she got up then fell flat on her face.

Damn, I'd quit watching at that point. No way she comes back in without a note after that.

I didn't watch it the first few times, either. I watched the remainder at one point just to watch the player reactions and how the officials handled it.

Glad to see you write this, I was starting to lose faith in you!

Might have been Jeffpea's oversight too!

Remember guys, always watch the whole utube!!
