Parent on the Floor
Injured player, coach beckoned. Parent comes down to the floor uninvited.

Your move.

Technical foul, toss the parent from the gym

I'm not doing anything.

Read this thread for the general consensus of how to handle this...and how most would NOT handle it.

If the parent doesn't say anything to me, I'm probably not going to say/do anything. If the parent utters one word that is any type of complaint, after the parent sees to their child, I'm getting security to escort them out of the building.

Are you implying that there may be an official in Nevada who is not part of "most"?

Are people posting these threads just for me?

Unfortunately, we had a situation last week in which a parent came out of the stands to harangue a young official and his veteran partner did not take care of business.

I still maintain that everyone is better off if the court is off-limits to the parents and spectators.

a solution
Mandate that all parents of players on all levels are locked in a room away from the court and made to watch the game their kid plays in on a 6 in CRT TV set.

can't we simply play games with a "No Parents Allowed" rule?...they're the ones that cause the most problems because they yell/scream, don't know the rules, and become so irrational that they cannot control their behavior.......

oh wait....on second thought....can we play game with a "No Coaches Allowed" rule as well?....
