Good thing there is only a few weeks left with this knuckle head. I suggest you stick this season out. Even though he is clearly in the wrong both in playing good baseball and being a good role model I firmly believe that quitting only teaches the children that when things get tough quit. Hang in there....
Make sure the board has feedback on this coach and his practices. Many times parents gripe about coaches and the information never gets back to the league officials. It is difficult for the board to bar him if he is a baseball idiot. Volunteers are hard to come by, but if you can show them that he is not coaching in the best interest of all the children he should not be in that position. This is winterball correct??? Where I live this is a lower competitive instructional period for the children and if that is the case in your area it should be used as one. Who cares in winter ball if you win or lose. It is about teaching.
Lastly volunteer yourself. I manage and have managed my son for 6 years now. It is alot of work but you do not have to worry about idiots like this. Teach the kids proper sportsmanship, techniques to the best of your ability and have fun.
