Kinda harsh there...It's before the game and the child has a medical condition requiring a bracelet and the parent sees some discussion about the bracelet--I don't blame them for being alarmed. I would politely asked them to leave the court and address their concerns through the coach.

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

Nope. But its the exception to the rule. And the only one!! But that kid better never be able to come back into the game. Otherwise its just one more overrection by a parent.

Harsh? Nope. But parents need to know their limits. And coming on the floor is one of them.

So if the kid returns in the second half after a nasty lookin' first half injury, do you go looking for the parent to dump them?
