Try to leave the gym with your partner.

Two...
If there is a potential "situation" have a school official escort you to your car.

Three...
If possible, bring a cell phone with you to your games.
Yes yes & yes. Also, if there's a security or game management person around let him take care of booting the guy out. Just point out the person you want to vanish & stay uninvolved during the process.

A long time ago I had to kick a parent out of a gym during one of these grade school games. Pretty typical, lots of yelling and finger pointing..."I'll be waiting for you outside" blah blah blah...well he was waiting for me outside except his coat, with his carkeys, were still waiting for him inside.

I could never figure out why he didn't try & retrieve them but he didn't and when we met again (as he promised) in the parking lot he looked very, very cold. Too cold, apparently, to follow through with the rest of his promises.
