I understand the approach, but I still don't agree with it. This guy is in a position of authority, he's not just a regular fan, and he's using that authority to create a hostile environment that could have many negative ramifications on a Jr. high school game. I don't think he can be ignored. Plus he attacked your integrity and threatened you, your partner should have game management dump him, or use JR's approach, but it has to be addressed because it sets the tone for the game.

If you're missing tournaments and this is costing you other games, you really need to talk to your assignor and find out what's going on. It's one thing to be badmouthed, it's another not to be backed up by the assignor to the point where a feud with one coach is hurting other parts of your schedule. I don't know the situation, but if the problem is costing you other assignments, there might be other things at play that you need to know but aren't aware of.
