Verdict
NCAA concussion protocol: removal for actual or suspected concussion + graduated return-to-play assessment. Court surface and post padding inspected pre-match.
Why people argue about this
People often assume that just checking court surface and padding before a game is enough to ensure safety, forgetting about the actual protocol for handling concussions during play as outlined by the NCAA's concussion protocol section. They overlook how serious it is to remove players who show signs of a concussion and how they must go through a graduated return-to-play assessment afterward.
