A coach is a teacher -- I see no real distinction. All this idiot had to do was bench the kid every time he whined -- it's that simple.
"Can I go in coach? Please? Can I, can I, can I, can I? Please?!?!? I wanna play! Waaaaaaaaaaaa!!"
"Sorry son, 'you whine -- grab some pine' -- you know the rules. I really hope we can get you in there next game!"
How hard is that? If the kid doesn't stop, he just doesn't play. That simple technique would have worked wonders with just about any kid I ever knew -- and just possibly might have taught him a valuable life lesson that didn't involve inappropriate public humiliation.
