As a youth travel softball coach for 10 years, I have always had the same rule when a player is late, run a lap, no big deal as it actually becomes something the coach parent and player get a laugh out of. The coach should have told the dad to take his kid and go home if he didn't like it.
Who knows, maybe this kid is late all the time? Did the coach tell the parents and kids of this policy at the start of the season? Is the coach running a boot camp for young kids? No fun = No team.
Some facts are missing here.
