Damon Evans on the circumstances surrounding the death of McNair


An independent review of experts in sports medicine interviewed students, coaches, and training staff to determine how the staff responded. The review is ongoing, but preliminary findings are:
- Jordan did not receive appropriate medical care and mistakes were made by athletic training personel
1 Emergency response plan was not appropriately followed
2 Care provided was not consistent with best practices
3 heat illness was not promptly identified or treated. Training staff did not take temperature or apply cold water immersion treatment
[Evans] expects additional findings when the report is complete.

- UMD has taken immediate steps to change how they practice and how to train staff.
- Evans has established an independent commission to investigate allegations
- Evans did not witness those things
- Mentioned staff are on administrative ways
- "We've parted ways with one of our members" (didn't say who)
- Nothing more important that student athlete safety

Again half transcription/half paraphrase
