Ok, so I'm an asst coCh of a 10u baseball team. Had a game tonight. I sorta sit off to the side and watch. I'm more of a practice coach.
Anyhow, I notice a dad bitching at the head coach and cussing at an asst coach in front of the boys. He called a coach "shit for brains".
Sooo, guy takes his kid and leaves the game in the 2nd inning. Calls coach a deuche? And I say " if you'd called me that, I'd be punchin your teeth in (. Building up biz). So guy comes back, gets in my face, I out him in a choke hold, and he gives. Takes his boy home. Sad deal. Soooo, I sent an email to aPologize for the whole thing , and the guy says he
Ll believe I'm sincere if I send it to all the Parents. Reeally?
What would y'all do? [Reply]

I coached little league baseball for 10 years. I've been called all kinds of names by upset parents. Too many emails letting me know their son is not being given enough respect by hitting higher in the order, needs more playing time etc. There are too many parents living their unfulfilled childhood dreams through their kids or think their kid is the next Pujols.
Competitive or recreational, it happened at both levels. If you can't handle that, or you don't need that shit in your life then don't coach. Because its going to happen. [Reply]

This.
I'm sure tooge is just unwinding from a weird event with some stiff drinks, but i expect better from him, he's usually much better.
To the op, calling another one of my coaches a douche or whatever... it would probably have been best to just let it slide and let the asshole go on home with his mortified, incredibly embarrassed son. [Reply]

Is there no end to your experienced wisdom? [Reply]
Sounds like the guy needed straightening out, so I don't see any real problem here, if he was in your face the way you claim. At that point, it's self defense whether he swings first or not. Never admit to potentially criminal behavior in writing, though, even if you might have a defense to it. [Reply]

U didn't want to go to jail. Is that hard for u to understand? Sounds odd when a chubby doughboy calls me a pussy. Ok. [Reply]

Thanks bro. Truth is, life happens in real time, and if I could do it again, I'd have simply told him he ought to just leave the park. Hindsight is wonderful. Life lesson learned.
This isn't the first incident with this parent, so throw that in and my trigger was a bit quick anyhow. [Reply]
