Sorry, I don't care why a parent feels the need to come on the floor to discuss anything with an official. If they do that, they are gonzo. If a player has a medical alert bracelet, it has to be taped. Its a rule. Period. No more reason for Mommy to come on the floor than when I call a foul on her little boy. (sarcasm) |

Would you kick out a parent who runs on the court when there child has suffered a major injury?

The only thing I think you can do is to try to avoid being confronted. It sounds as though you did that in the crowded venue. If talk is civil, then I might end up talking to the guy, but otherwise, I'm ignoring him and going right past him too.

What would you do in a high school game?
What would you do in a game governed by High School Rules?
Why would you do any less here? You are on the court, you are out of the facility! period end of conversation, You can go peacefully or with assistance of Law. And the kids will have to pay for your actions here with a Whack also.

After taking a night and sleeping on this, I realized all this could have been avoided had I not deferred to my partner so much. I should have gone with my first instinct and either whacked her with a T or had her removed. A day removed from this, I'm amazed I didn't do that in the first place.

A large youth league (4th-8th grade travel teams) this year put in place a very strict policy regarding sportsmanship. It makes the head coach responsible for the conduct of spectators. Officials can have the coach remove the parents. If they don't, game is over. Additionally, there are provisions for further sanctions upon review by league officials and the referee coordinator.
It is too bad that this is necessary, but the clear language gives officials an unambiguous road map to deal with parents and other spectators in gyms where "game management" may be the biggest offender. |

Fan on the court? Fan leaves. Game doesn't start until fan leaves. If fan doesn't leave and team identity is clear: forfeit.
I had a Dad in the top row during a CYO tournament championship get very abusive at my partner. I just walked to the bottom of the stands and pointed to the door. He refused. I walked to the table and in a loud voice said, "Put :30 seconds on the clock and if he is still here when the horn sounds the game is over!" and then walked away. The other parents almost bodily threw him out since their team was winning at the time. ![]() |

In Oregon, this is a class A misdemeanor and will be prosecuted by the district attorneys office and can result in a fine and/or jail time. Also, in our state, if you direct a fan (or anyone else) to leave the premises and they refuse, they are considered trespassing and you can call the police to have them arrested. These are relatively new laws in our state and I carry copies of them in my gym bag.

Somehow I don't think that would have helped, not to mention the size difference.
Dad was about 6' 4" and I'm 5' 10". Not a good size differential. |
