The boyfriend, however, became outraged and verbally abusive toward the Field Ump. Not sure what the trigger was -- it didn't even involve "his" kid. One of my AC's tried to calm him down and he turned on the AC -- telling him he wouldn't be disrespected and challenging him to a fight. He continued to chirp through the rest of the game, which we ended up losing.
As I'm doing my postgame conference with the umps, the fire was reignited. He became loudly and aggressively belligerent with my coaches and the umpires and was yelling "FU" and "SMD" in front of the players and families. I asked that the umpire eject him, which he did. The other team complained to the league (which I totally understand). The UIC had to come over and enforce the ejection.
From what you're describing here it sounds like the guy has a drug or alcohol problem. My sister was married to a guy with a coke problem. It sounds like he could have been at your game. To this day he still acts that way between highs.
Your Board needs to grow a pair. One or two members need to be there with you when the warning is given about his behavior. Especially, with his threatening to fight your AC. That, IMO, threatened behavior can be enough to warrant being banned from the league facilities. It sounds like the Board wants to give him one more chance. I really doubt it will make a difference given his history of being "vocal," and not in a good way, in the past.
If he did something like that at the player's school I can envision them calling the police to have him removed. Who knows? The police may have knowledge of him already. It really sounds like this guy never got his official "Grown Ups" card.
Your season should be nearing its conclusion. Hopefully, you'll be done with him soon. The unfortunate thing for the girl is no coach is going to take her on their team next year due to the actions of the mom's boyfriend. All-stars... She can forget about that.
