Do you get a lot of baseball coaches at your basketball games?

leave him alone, I was told

No problem, but you need that in writing and signed by the individual writing it.

I turned in a game report last year on a coach who we didn't T up. Oh, he deserved one or maybe even two but even he didn't rise to the point of conduct you describe here. We decided not to T him because we feared his team would retaliate physically (they were getting smoked) during a live ball and spark a fight. That wasn't a good decision on our part and I regret it, but the message we got back was if we weren't prepared to do our job, what can they do? When you think about it, its a good question.

Bottom line: your guy's a moron. But I would definitely make the effort to get a letter stating what he or she said.

Sometimes you just have to take the information under advisement and do what you feel is best in the end.
