A coach cannot override a doctor's note. The player and her family can, but a coach cannot. No circumstance changes that.

I would agree also, however..........

THIS.

Actually thats not entirely true. If a doctor clears a player for participation, its still on the coach to make the final call on participation.

 

Considering the number of "FAKE" doctors notes I see in a given year that mom and dad have disguised to look real, we need way more info on this one.

add Physical Forms to the list as well.

But if the doctor clears the player (and the trainer gives the go ahead) and the coach doesn't allow the player to participate, that isn't overriding a doctor's note in my mind. That's being cautious.

 

And my reasoning for thinking this way is as follows: In your situation the doctor's note says a player can participate, not that they must participate. The way this situation sounds is that the note said the player cannot participate (read: must sit out). The difference in can and cannot is big.

add Physical Forms to the list as well.

 

Oh yes, big time # of fakes in this. Had a situation this year with one that was the weirdest ever.

Fake physical forms???

That's just lazy!

 

 

Had an employee who had his VET write him a note once... points for creative but massive deduction for stupidity..

My guess is that at least 25% of the physical forms are fake, probably more. Schools just dont care, as long as its filled out, who filled it out is irrelevant to them.

We have two to come in and offer them at the school for a reduced rate and we have a clinic that will do them for free in the summer. They set aside one day to do it.

The problem with the clinic type and school type physicals is what does that person doing the exam really know about the player. Past history, injury history, anything?

 

Had a kid a few years ago that was struggling in a practice, so I sat him out. Check his physical that night, nothing noted on it (had had the physical done at the High School during the sports clinic exam.)

 

Mom tells me the next day, kid has a heart murmur and something else (cant remember what) told the trainer and he said, "this kid should not be out here at all." But nothing noted on the physical form and he was "Cleared to participate."

 

They are really useless CYA pieces of paper.

If I remember correctly, they (the player/their family) fill out part of the form that asks for information about things like a heart murmur. Maybe the forms have changed since I played but I thought the player/parents filled out the top and the left side with information/answers to questions and the doctor checked boxes on the right in some grid thingy.

I'm hearing Reece won't be back at Greenwood, and there are up and coming programs waiting in line to court her.
