Lastly, who couldn't tell that this player was unconscious? That should have triggered a serious examination and return-to-play protocol.

If George was asked the evaluation questions while sitting on the bench and responded "properly" and if he didn't show any signs, symptoms or behaviors consistent with a concussion why would there have been a need to take him to a quiet place to be examined?
As to "who couldn't tell...(he) was unconscious": Staying down on the court for a long time means there was a loss of consciousness? One of my sons suffered a concussion at 13 while playing baseball (a bat him him in the side of the jaw while he was playing catcher). He didn't show any of the signs/symptoms/behaviors until 45 minutes later when I got him home. It's not an exact science.
