There aren't many cliche rules I live by, but one is to honor my commitments. If I've committed to the game, barring illness or injury (and often even with them), I'm reffing it. I believe the original poster was correct to express concern to the tournament director, then to do the game. A letter of concern about the rule to the AAU is also totally legit.
Once the game is on, it's a normal game, and if this coach is as much of a butthead as he sounds like, he won't last long anyway. Run it as usual: a stop sign, first T, second T, ejection. There, he's gone. Problem solved.
