What would you do If you were me?

Hi, I am a mom of a 13 year boy who just had the worst emotional roller coaster  hs baseball experience!!  I am looking for advice that deals with self esteem and self worth.  I am a teacher of 25 years and have never come upon such an aggresive coach.  We are going to the board about this and I need all the help I can get.  All in all, he [the coach} wrote an email about my son and how he will never go on as a athlete...so on and so on....because they lost a tournament.  My son read it!  Obviously I am angry and disappointed and I don't believe this man should coach anymore.  He has previously been kicked out of our league twice for cheating...Everyone is afraid to take him on.  I would love to talk to someone on how to approach this meeting without sounding like the protective parent.  He slandered my son and it is not acceptable. I deal everyday with the self esteem of children.  It hits home when it is my son! Hopefully, someone can help out.  Any one know how to hold these coaches accountable?
