[QUOTE="Hopingfor500, post: 1482829, member: 746590"] I know you're frustrated, but this is a bit off key. I've played at the HS level, I'm sure many of you have too. My kid plays HS ball and I'm sure many of yours do as well. Trying to keep guys from getting their bells rung is common sense. Not sure who here has ever had a concussion, but it's no fun. It's not a rub some dirt on it and get back out there type injury. It's vomiting, it's headaches, it's disorientation....it's scary. So, I don't care if our guys get flagged for it and get kicked out. Don't do it. Yes, accidents and obscurities occur. Never going to get around that. For the most part however, it's due to 1)Terrible technique, 2)Being out of control or 3)A guy looking to deliver a knockout. Those things can be handled via good coaching and discipline. Sorry to rant, but for those of us who have played, have had or have seen a concussion....it's scary and for the most part avoidable. [/QUOTE]
