Tonight, I was out with friends at a local club, and we were minding our own business. I had my back to the floor, and suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned and looked, and it was this coach. He asked my why I had yelled at him, and why I tossed him. Then he started getteing aggressive about the game and said that "he meant what he said when he said he didn't want to see me on his field again." He went back to trying to start an argument over the game, and I told my friends I'd be back. With him being (obviously) drunk I didn't want to even discuss it. I walked away and came back after he had left.

This is seeming to get out of hand, with him threatening me in a public place. Any advice?
First, treat him like any other drunk in a bar, and be prepared to defend yourself. If he is agressive enough, the club may get rid of him. Second, make sure your assignor knows you were threatened in bar by the coach. Give him the coaches exact words, just like you surely did on the ejection report, which he should have also. If he does his job he WILL have a discussion with the AD. If his actions on the field don't get him fired, and accosting an umpire while drunk in a bar don't get him fired, then the assignor is not likely to assign you there again.
