I don't read anything that sounds remotely like that. Treatment is authorized. Nothing is said about the treatment provided by said physicians being exclusive, while on the court or anywhere else.

I am not an attorney, but what I read is basically intended to free all persons related to the team from liability if there is a problem with treatment of the injury.

If Mom and Dad come out and scoop up the kid, I see nothing to prohibit them checking him out on the spot, taking him to the emergency room, or anything in between.
