Question on Case Book Situation 2.8.5

[Kingsman1288]

Under the new revisions for this year in the case book, 2.8.5 states that a player who was removed from the game for exhibiting signs of a concussion may return in the same game once they have been cleared by a health care professional. Where it gets iffy (IMO at least) is that it states that if the player who was removed appears at the scorer's table to reenter the game, the officials shall assume the coach/school followed the appropriate procedure and the player is eligible.

At our association's meeting tonight, we were told the state office says this rule does not apply in CA and a player may never reenter the game if he was removed for concussion like symptoms. Any other states out there that are not adopting this revision? For those states that are, what are your thoughts on it?

It's asking officials to assume an awful lot on the part of a coach. All it would take is one coach bending the rule to get his star player back in the game and all heck would break loose.
