Ejecting a Coach before a game?

Brumey,
I think you handled it as appropriately as you possibly could have. Per OBR, the UIC takes control of the field once he accepts the lineup card from the home team manager. Some leagues however have the umpires in control when they set foot on the field, in which case you would have been in your rights to send the Dad/Coach packing immediately. I'd fear he'd take it out on the kid, if you did that though. At that age level, there is no excuse whatsoever for using that language in front of the kids. Even if he were the youngster's father, that doesn't give him the right to verbally abuse any kid.
