Did I miss the boat when my son's coach did the same thing in a practice during Peewee football! I should have threatened to sue him instead of threatening to kick his tail....:(

The guy immediately apologized (he realized he was in the wrong). And I don't think the guy was really afraid of me as he was bigger than I. he just realized that he had crossed the line.

I found out after practice that the guy had one hell of a bad week, topped off by finding out that his wife was diagnosed with cancer located in the brain. The incident was never mentioned again and never repeated I can understand his actions somewhat.....
