I think we have no place trying to get involved during the game. This is a school issue. This is an administrative issue. What you think is abusive, others might see as a coach that cares. And personally I am not of the camp that there really is such a thing as "verbal" abuse. Not because you cannot hurt someone's feelings, but what others say really should not affect the way you think.

I think if you get involved, you might not like the consequences that might come onto you indirectly or directly for making such a claim. I think parents and teachers are in a better position to make these claims. At least they are more tied to the situation than you are. Remember, you are really on the outside looking in. Not a very good view if you ask me.
