I've read the submissions, and the submissions continue to improve in detail and reporting quality, so thanks, group. Let other parents know about this thread, so we can have more submissions to choose from.
There are some other threads that are promising, but need to have proper detail to be useful here, like the u10 coach pulling his players from the field. It looks bad, but also looks like there may be more to the story, plus there's no way to identify the club, the coach, and the game. If those details were provided, it might blow our minds so much we need a "Psycho Coach of the Week". We are interested in identifying problem parents here, just like problem animals.
This week, honorable mention to:
So, with those things duly considered, ActualParent and the nominating committee decide it is....
NASA u15 Classic 2 dad at GSA, who expressed his belief loudly that the ref had been bribed by GSA to throw the match. Small skinny white male, about 5.10, clean shaven, brownish, almost reddish hair. He really would not shut up, and was a candidate for some kind of psychiatric isolation. A GSA kid did try to roll a ball to a NASA kid,but it went 4-6 feet behind him, and the NASA Dad screamed "unsportsmanlike -give him a red card"
I would not have made this award based on my observations alone, but I was (maybe too lenient) backed up independently by another forum person.
The players on NASA CL2 were physical, maybe a bit harsh, but handshakes all around at the end of the game. Only the NASA parents and their coach charged the ref at the end of the game.

This week, honorable mention to:
- Stupid GSA u12 parents and their complaints over their camera tripod. Just shut up and move it...you're a burden to us all.
- Lanier Sharks u11 girls Dad, running on field to accost AR while his own kid is down due to contact. Now THAT is a class act.
