Especially if they have their wife (or husband) take the course for them.

Hockey Calgary always had division chairpersons at certain games and would definitely bar parents from being at the rink and, in at least one instance that I remember, suspend the kid if the parents disobeyed and continued their abuse.

There are tools in place, but there definitely has to be an acknowledgement that this is a problem (which it doesn't sound is the case in PA) and a willingness to actually do something about it.
