If I can be present, I will be. I will make those decisions. I have that right. Look, I've been around sports long enough to know injuries happen. I'm not going to be rushing down there unless it looks severe.

But, as an official on the court, I'm not going to prevent nor punish a parent for making a different choice than I would make for my child. There may very well be issues with that child's health that any first responders may need to be aware of.

If GM wants to do something about it, they can. If they don't, I'm ok with that.

No way I go into the OR, either, per your question to BktBallref. But I will have made the decisions necessary for that surgery to happen if I was able to do so. If I was not, it won't be because some overzealous "crowd control" kid stopped me.
