I agree with the advice to step back & take a deep breath. I'm a parent to a 7th grade cheerleader & 4th grade basketball player. I also coach rec league & officiate HS JV & below. So I've heard some coaches & parents make bad staments.
Nobody has yet recommended a direct conversation with the coach who made the comment. What if someone thought you made a comment like the one your son brought home and refused to speak directly to you about the sitch. Personally, I would appreciate you comming to me as a concerned adult and not someone head-hunting. If/When you do some face time with the coach, by all means let his supervisor know of any inappropiate remarks. I would think at the age of your son that you could change him to a good coach,i.e. AAU, YBOA or Jr. Pro, easier than changing his school.
