On this episode, we'll be tackling one of the thorniest recurring issues in all of sports, and at every level of sport: what happens when a coach tries to interfere with a team doctor's medical decision about returning a player to the field and about their care and treatment. 

Joining me to break this down are Dr. James Borchers, longtime head team doctor for Ohio State Athletics, the first ever Chief Medical Officer for the Big 10 Conference, and the President and co-founder of the US Council for Athletes Health; and Brian Hainline, the former Chief Medical Officer of the NCAA and the USTA and a longtime professor of neurology.
