Very simple- If the arm hurts, the pitcher comes out.

If he was throwing 100 pitches at 11 this early in the season (or at all for that matter) the parents should fire the coach.

On dads' advice- Terrible lesson to teach your son. Not very fair to his teammates. Why not teach your your son to communicate with his coach."Coach my arm hurts and I can no longer pitch." If the arm hurts why would you tell your son to keep throwing at all. Balls or strikes doesn't matter, hurting is hurting.
