Just to be clear on my position on this matter.
I'm not going to say a word to the parent or anyone who comes down out of the stands. I'm not going to try to prevent such a person from doing anything. However, I am going to insist that the boundaries of the playing area are respected and reserved for the participants. The spectators are to KEEP OUT. If that is not done, then I will penalize the team whose followers are responsible for that breach.
I have no problem if game management decides to bring in a parent or guardian down for consultation after deciding that an injury is very serious and this is done in the proper manner. However, I'm not going to suffer fools who rush in at the first cry from Johnny or Suzie.
We simply cannot have people coming out of the stands and onto the court whenever they please.
