If fan was unruly towards anyone while on floor:
"Mr. Game-Management-Supervisor, please go speak with that person who came on the floor and escort them out of the facility before we resume the game. Thanks."

Again, the foul can be issued if it interferes with the game. I don't believe these actions interfere with anything, except for maybe the few cases where the medical personnel are bothered by overzealous nervous parents.

The problem with the way that you are handling this is that there is absolutely no deterrent to spectators from coming onto the court whenever they deem it necessary.

I don't believe in permitting this type of behavior. Therefore, I favor having strong sanctions against it. You seem to be okay with random people coming onto the court during games which you officiate. I don't feel that that provides a safe environment for the participants and officials, so I'm not okay with it.

Random fans? Seriously, Nevada, we're talking about parents coming down during an apparently serious injury situation; not random fans strolling onto the court.

You gonna T the home team when some fans cut across the corner of the court on their way to the bleachers? No, you let GM deal with it until it actually affects the game.

Let it go, Adam. He can't see the forest for the trees.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Who in this entire thread said anything about "random people" coming onto the court during a game? Oh, I see, only you have said that. So if you say it, is everyone else just supposed to assume someone who you're arguing against (everyone) said it, and you're quoting them?

when engaged in an argument with multiple persons, one realizes that they are the lone person representing their opinion, while numerous others have a different opinion, one may want to reconsider their position, (hint, hint) unless of course they are incapable of doing that.
