How wluld the NCAA or NBA/WNBA handle the situation if a player was injured & the player's parent(s) came rushing to their side in the middle of the court?

Same thing can be asked of NFL, MLB, NASCAR, MLS, NHL, IFL, AF1, WWE, TNA, & other sports officials, no matter what the sport is.

For example: what would happen if David Stockton (son of John Stockton) got injured when Gonzaga was playing against the University of Portland, & John (his father) came rushing down onto the court to be by his son's side although he wasn't summoned/given permission?

It depends. If it was a Jay Burson type injury, I doubt anyone would say anything. If it was an ankle roll, John isn't coming down.
Mainly, though, it's not the same thing. You're talking about adults verses 14-18 year old kids.

And Smitty's right, if a scorer so much as mentioned calling a T to me in this situation, I'd firmly remind him to mind his own duties and stay out of mine. Frankly, that goes for a lot of the things you think the scorer can jump in on.
