Don't even talk to the varsity coach. You could just whack him directly, especially if he jumps up and starts yelling aggressively, but if you want to warn, only talk to the head freshman coach. Do it calmly and with no defensiveness.

This is just plain wrong. Turn and walk quickly back into the gym or whereever there might be "witnesses" and find the AD or other gym managment type person.

DOn't talk to this guy, or defend yourself . See above.

"Thank you, thank you," walking quickly away into the locker room. "Thank you, thank you". Getting away as fast as possible.
