Do you have any experience in crowd control/security?
It's not an abuse of power, it's called keeping all unneeded personnel away from the scene to maintain order for the medical personnel on hand in order to do what they need to do. This regulation comes to play whether it's a college football game or a rock concert. I've worked both with similar situations. Whether it's on the court/stage/field or up among the patrons in the stands, in a medical assist circumstance the only people allowed to be directly involved are the medical personnel/first responders.
In the situation of a parent being involved during the initial processing is if the parent is themselves a medical professional, otherwise they must remian a spectator until their child is removed from the court.
The only time a parent is allowed to be involved during the whole process is if the child involved is a young child (8-10 & below in age).
