Juulie - I have worked with you and I'm sure that if you tossed this jerk, he absolutely deserved it. My advice is always the same in a situation like this. Each game is different. Just go and do it like you never saw the guy before. Put the burden on him to modify his behavior, not the other way around.
Think of it this way - if you beg off the game, you are saying that a coach who acts like a jerk should have the authority to decide who referees games.
That's the job of the commissioner.
BTW - last Tuesday night I tossed an asst. coach who wouldn't leave the floor while complaining about a call. I had the same guy Saturday night in a tournament and he never said a single word the entire game. Maybe he was scared. The strangest thing was that the team (from Canby) had two different head coaches on the two different nights. I'm still wondering about that one.
