I have to admit to being surprised by Nevada's take on this. How do we, as officials, judge who is authorized by game management to tend to injuries? If someone comes out of the stands, they could be a local doctor who always helps with injuries as easily as a parent.
I'm with BITS in that I beckon and get away. Game management can take care of who comes on the court.
I'm always interested in how we approach things. Sometimes high school athletics are an extension of the classroom, a place for education where we enforce good sportsmanship and encourage teamwork and positive emotion. Other times we treat the game as so sacrosanct that we would (ask game management to) eject a parent who comes to the court to tend to an injured child and charge that team with a technical foul.
