If the coach can't deal wit the fan, the kids and other parents will finally turn on the fan and get him to leave, they all want to watch the kids play.

P.S. They will begin by yelling at the ump -- Were not here to see you ... if hey are not switching sides quick enough remindthem that the fan is stopping hem from watching the kids not you.

It works and usually takes only 5 min or so of time. In this instance you will rarely have a problem with the fans of either team for the remaineder of the season.
Exactly, that's what I was getting at with suspending the game.

It doesn't have to be for long, it can be temporary... like 3ah said, it will shut the parents up, as they will finally realize that they are hurting the kids.
