#1, if you have a witness, it's worth taking it to a higher level.
#2, if you don't have a witness, there’s little you can do because it's a fight you can never win.
#3, that all said, if it's a college coach, even if you have a witness, do nothing because you can never win.
Other option is: Next time it happens, instruct the player to come right out and confront the coach with the question: "Do you have an issue with my race? If you do, I would like to hear exactly what it is."
I would bet that the coach back pedals in a hurry.

I so want to encourage this immediate confrontation next time it happens, but I fear the call out would result in retaliatory action. This is at the college level, there's multiple witnesses as this happened during practice. I also fear that if my son were to bring up the issue to the AD, he would forever be labelled as a kid that no coach would ever want because he was the one that spoke up.
