After looking over the thread APG posted, I can see Nevada's point. The technical foul is not necessarily to punish the incident, but to discourage the behavior. You can't discourage such behavior without consequences. The closest thing I have to this sitch is in a U-14 boys' soccer game in October. A kid got hurt, and his mom blew right past the A/R on the sideline toward the center of the field. The center referee told her she had to leave (the kid wasn't hurt that badly), and out came the "but I'm his mother!" arguments. The opposing coach -- on the line I was working -- loudly insisted we can't have parents on the field. That really comes down to my point. Rules are agreements, and in the aforementioned case, it was indeed agreed upon by that league that parents will not come on the field, for any reason. If we generally agree that the same should be the case in basketball, then most of us would have no problem here penalizing any such court-entry actions. Ultimately, it sounds like a case where Roman Law reigns supreme.

Otherwise, there's nothing else to do unless the parent proves he/she can't be rational.

And I've never heard of anyone issuing a T in this situation (parent is taking care of kid and nothing toward me)...Nevada is literally the first person I've seen suggest that route.

Had this problem at a varsity girl's tournament this summer. Girl goes down in a heap; coach and trainer come onto the court to tend to her, followed shortly by the father. As the father walks by my partner, he says something akin to "If you'd call the game right, this wouldn't happen."
I called the tournament director over and had her remove the dad from the gym. We had no problem with dad coming onto the court, but once he opened his mouth to us, he was not going to hang around to see the rest of the game. |

Assuming that the parent is the player's parent (or guardian), then I beckon them on. And I don't care where they are, I still beckon, even if they're already on the court.

TASERS have great range, so that shouldn't be a problem from the table. I suppose though you could always transition to an LRAD.

There's a difference between being tripped, and tripping ...
What's the call if a player trips over the parent?

I assume that the parent and child go to the same school, so I've got nothing. Since when did night school students become eligible, anyway?
