What remains under review, the school district said, is what exactly the football team was doing in the school's pool.
Nottingham football coach Jon Adams Interim Superintendent Thomas Ficarra identified Adams as the person who pulled the unidentified boy from the pool's deep end Wednesday evening after practice and used CPR to resuscitate him.
Adams has lifeguard certification, as well as CPR, he said.
What remains under review, Ficarra said, is what exactly the football team was doing in the pool.
"We have to look into that," Ficarra said.
Ficarra said in other districts where he's worked, if a school has a pool, like Nottingham does, and it's hot outside the students can use it.
The scenario that put football players in the pool will be examined, Ficarra said.
District mum after near-drowning of player
The school's football teams are currently in pre-season practice at the school.
The superintendent said Saturday that privacy laws prevented him from commenting on specifics about the boy's condition, or if he was even still hospitalized.
Ficarra said he was informed he was "doing well."
The Saturday comments by Ficarra are the first by any district official since the 6 p.m. Wednesday incident.
First responders have described the player as an incoming freshman.
The teen was taken to a local hospital after being revived and later transported to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, police and first responders have said.
On Friday, a township police spokesman said the department has no involvement in the incident.
