Oh just settle down. I never said as an official I would keep the kid out of the game (assuming I didn't notice any symptoms). I'm saying anyone able to get 3 concussions in 3 weeks is not being served appropriately by the team's medical and coaching staff. Can you argue with that? Research shows that the most damage comes from subsequent concussions before the original one heals.

There are "degrees" of concussions. And, it's entirely possible that the prior one healed / the player passed the post-concussion test, etc. Just like when we get second-hand stories about an official's call, we like to get the official's side of the story, I think we should get the medical staff's side of the story here. |

I don't have sufficient medical training to assert conclusively that 3 concussions of any degree over 3 weeks automatically disqualifies a player. Sure it sounds bad, but that's not my call (here or on the court).

Can you clarify why you thought my first statement was "lawyer-bait"? I think you misread it and jumped to conclusions, correct?

I don't think I misread it. Your statement is (or entails) a medical judgment. I did assume that you have no medical license. A habit of dispensing medical opinions without a license, especially in the context of sports, will attract lawyers.
