As wrong as and maddening as it may be, the best response to any of this stuff is no response. You either take the high road the whole way, or it makes no difference. If you respond to verbal taunts and then get hit, you will have witnesses on the other side saying you provoked the attack, which will make "justice" very difficult to get. If you get cursed out, get away and notify everyone of the behavior to get the coach banned.

Hope this guy gets more than 7 months. Pretty sad if this guy gets to coach again.

You have a flair for the obvious....he already said in hindsight he wishes he didn't swear back. And It does make a difference that he walked away after the loser struck him.
