It's a judgment call that can only be made by the official responsible for making that judgment. Always err on the side of the player's well-being. Then trust your judgment and don't second-guess yourself.

You are right, that is a loaded term and I used it. when I started officiating 30+ years ago this call is a "no brainer". Now our society has changed a lot. I'd run through the data for you but that is way OT.

That's how I see things these days, and I believe I'm justified in saying it.
