I may be wrong again, but I think I speak for us all when I say.......wow.

What about if the parent requesting to come out onto the court is a Dr./EMT/Nurse or other medical personnel?
What if the student-athlete has several allergies to medications that the parent knows about, but not the coach? Not every coach is going to know the exact medical histories of all their players, nor will they have such files handy in case of such a situation. There are extenuating circumstances that would allow parents to come out onto the court in a medical emergency. |

Injuries happen in HS sports. Parents need to understand that when they give permission for their child to participate. |

I have to admit to being surprised by Nevada's take on this. How do we, as officials, judge who is authorized by game management to tend to injuries? If someone comes out of the stands, they could be a local doctor who always helps with injuries as easily as a parent.
I'm with BITS in that I beckon and get away. Game management can take care of who comes on the court. I'm always interested in how we approach things. Sometimes high school athletics are an extension of the classroom, a place for education where we enforce good sportsmanship and encourage teamwork and positive emotion. Other times we treat the game as so sacrosanct that we would (ask game management to) eject a parent who comes to the court to tend to an injured child and charge that team with a technical foul. |

I am sure mbyron reviewed the context of the spelling and gave it his blessing by omission.
