I think anytime a coach, assistant coach or any member of the coaching staff threatens a player they should not be allowed to attend any more games or participate in any form or fashion with any team. I feel this type of behavior would be greatly decreased if coaches & staff were held accountable for any negative behavior exhibited at a game. Minor unpunished negative behavior leads to greater negative behavior, making the offender feel he is above reproach or punishment - thus leading to threatening & possiblely physical acts.
