I agree, but what should I have done? I'm hardly qualified to administer a field sobriety test. To my eyes, he seemed sober. The coaches' comments may have sprung from disagreeing with one of his calls. Suppose he in fact had a beer or two before the games. Is this enough to take action? If so what action?
I believe there are medical conditions that can cause our breath to have an alchohol type smell to it. I would say there's not much you can do if you don't believe the guy's been drinking. OTOH if you're convinced he had been drinking then you should probably go talk to him about it and see if you can get him off the floor. In your case when it seems you disagreed with the coaches opinion you might have said something to the ref as well, just to convince yourself one way or the other.

BTW, I don't think I would include "banterng with the crowd" at a CYO game as solid evidence the guy's been drinking.
