I feel for you Mike - don't know what it is about youth sports, but some of the absolute worst examples of unsportsmanlike conduct I've seen on the part of coaches & spectators occurs at the GS/MS level. There are exceptions, but for the most part the coaches are typically parent volunteers with little or no training and minimal basic knowledge of the game. Parents are worse yet - with rare exceptions, most of them don't have a clue.

Best advice I can give you is to keep your cool & ingore them. Don't even acknowledge their existence, just turn and walk away - then file a written report of their behavior with the league. You did the right thing.
