I agree with Stan. Don't quit the team. Have a frank discussion with your daughter about the coach's behavior. Make sure she understands where you stand, regarding the coach's behavior and your support of her. You could turn this into a real learning experience for her.
It seems to me the current wisdom when dealing with kids is to encase them in plastic and protect them from everything. At 8th grade, your child may or may not be mature enough to handle this situation with your support--that's your call.
