He mentioned that over the years he's earned the coach's respect, so I guess I have a few years to go, eh? It's done and I think I'll get it right the next time. I hope there's not a next time...

My only comment is that you shouldn't have to
earn a coach's respect to make them stop treating you like sh*t. It's a two-way street. Coaches have to earn our respect too, and they'll never do that by dumping on us. We're
expected to deal with people in a fair, polite and sporting manner. We should also
expect to be treated the same way.
Takes Dan_ref's advice. Get game administration to put his a$$ in the parking lot next time. See if that will get you some respect. If not, maybe the jerk will think about it a little bit anyway.
