RULES AND
MECHANICS
CHANGES
Dave Dunning – BCBOA Rules
Interpreter
NFHS Changes - 2-8-5; 3-3-8
Changed the guidelines and procedures for identifying and removing a player who
exhibits signs, symptoms and/or behaviors consistent with a concussion.
• CONCUSSION PROCEDURE REVISED (2-8-5; 3-3-8): Any player who exhibits
signs, symptoms or behaviors consistent with a concussion must be
immediately removed from the game and shall not return to play until cleared by
an appropriate health-care professional. The previous rule directed officials to
remove an athlete from play if “unconscious or apparently unconscious.” The previous
rule also allowed for return to play based on written authorization by a medical doctor.
The new rule requires that any player who exhibits signs, symptoms or behaviors
consistent with a concussion, such as loss of consciousness, headache, dizziness,
confusion or balance problems, shall be immediately removed from play and shall not
return until cleared by an appropriate health-care professional. Officials, coaches and
administrators should be looking for signs of concussion in all athletes and should
immediately remove any suspected concussed athlete from play and make every effort
to ensure a concussed athlete does not continue to participate.
CONCUSSION PROCEDURE REVISED (2-8-5; 3-3-8):

Subject: Concussion Rules Change (2-8-5; 3-3-8)
Shanell,
At the Evaluation Camp you discussed the new rule change regarding
Concussions. You also mentioned that the FHSAA will be sending clarifications
regarding the "signs, symptoms or behaviors consistent with a concussion," and what
constitutes a "Health-Care professional."
Our Association believes that there is opportunity for liability regarding this issue and
would like to have, in writing, what the FHSAA recommended protocol is in how to
handle concussions and/or potential concussions of student athletes.
Thank you very much.

CONCUSSION PROCEDURE REVISED (2-8-5; 3-3-8):
August 25, 2010 1:18 pm
Lee,
This will be detailed in the rules presentation, which I am
currently working on. It will Include a step by step protocol. One
thing that the NFHS has said is that the officials will not have to
get anything in writing, and your role would be only to remove the
athlete from the floor. You will not have to worry about who the
health care professional is. The liability would rest on the coach
and school to have the athlete released by an appropriate health
care professional.

NFHS Changes - 3-5-3a

NFHS Changes - 10-3-6i; 10-5-5
Specific rules were added to address the unsporting
acts of a player leaving the playing court for an
unauthorized reason to demonstrate resentment,

NFHS EDITORIAL CHANGES
3-3-1a NOTE; 4-34-2
Clarified that when a substitute is
not properly reported, the players
in the game at the conclusion of
the quarter/when the time-out
was granted shall begin play for
the new quarter/after the timeout. During an intermission, all
team members are bench
personnel for the purpose of
penalizing unsporting behavior.
NFHS EDITORIAL CHANGES
3-4-2d

conference logo/mascot
