Lawsuit for what?
I agree that from what I have read the father has handled to whole matter very well, but I see no grounds for a civil suit.
I don't believe that it is against the law to embarrass someone. I also don't believe that what the coach did was either libel or slander. Unless you can show me some right of this child's that was violated, I don't believe that there is any reason to seek redress.
While our country may be court-crazy, I just don't see it in this instance.
I'll also note that it seems from the latest articles that the coach's penalty will be almost exactly what I wrote above.
