Any coaches out there had a problem with a stalker parent?

Cannonball, It is odd that we had the same problem in the same state. Maybe all the crazies are in IL.
What a first post. Or did you re-register?
I have been through this. Nice man when he wasn't drinking. You need to develop a plan and you need to include an assistant coach/coach/adult if you really feel that this has potential danger. For me, I was told a couple of times that I was making it more than it was. Believe me, I've had a few confrontations before with parents. This was way above the norm. So, I did develop a plan. Unfortunatly I needed it. It included drawing this parent away from the team and parents and toward the parking lot so law enforcement would know where we were. It included a call to 911 as well as providing our SRO with a "history" and a request that he attend some of our games. The situation became very violent. Still, it happened away from most of the players/parents. I was trying to save him and the player the embarassment. Little did I know how bad this would become. Be very careful!!!
