What are the penalty s if any or advice on how to handle him.

Thanks in advance,
I'm curious why you feel the need to handle him or do anything about him at all. He's a fan - just like the rest of the fans. If he's so unruly that he can't be ignored - just like any other fan - have GM handle it. 99.99% of the time, just as any other fan ... if he's just complaining, ignore him.

I think my main concern is why you would choose to focus on this particular fan, just because of his occupation.

(Regarding the "he hit me", I'd think that would have been handled already in the past - I hope you pressed charges at the time, but if you did, and the whole thing is resolved, and he's still coaching, well - live with it or officiate elsewhere if he makes you uncomfortable ... but the "he hit me" should have nothing to do with this situation)
