^ Or you could sit next to him and interrupt him and say "Actually, that's my son. Coach said X, so I disagree."

I'd want to investigate further because in sports "bad" could be "He needs to get right. GET RIGHT! Guard him!" or it could be "That kid needs to sit out. Get #11 off the field. What a waste of a defender!"
I think the former is OK and the later is obviously beyond the pale.
I'd sit near that dad next time and listen. And if he's being rude I'd say to him at the half or end, "Hey Paul, I'm Larlo's mom, he's #11. I wanna let you know we don't speak negatively about the kids sports as a general rule, so when you say X, Y and Z about my son, I take issue with it. Do you think you can stop?"

If you didn’t hear it then it likely never happened.

It never matters what some dad is saying on the sideline. The proof is in the playing time. I would not be about to not say something tho.

I think you can say something to him either in person or through a text or email. Just say that you were told he was commenting negatively about your child, and if that’s true, you would expect him to refrain from doing that in the future. Let him know that these are not the major leagues, the states are not that high, And out of a sense of respect and community, we should refrain from speaking negatively about children anywhere other than in the privacy of his own home.

This is what i want to say.
My kids friend told her what the dad was saying. My kid is planning to tell her teamate what her dad was saying.
There was one thing kind of funny that came out of the entire situation. My kids friend didn't know who the guy was that was saying negative things. So she described him as "the big fat guy with a beard and really long ears". As soon as she said that everyone know who she was talking about.

Jealously, ignore it. If they say something to or at your kid, the you need to say something.

The irony of it all was that our coach called my kid out at halftime and after as the best player out there and that everyone else should be working as hard as she was. She also had an assist + as a mid was making plays happen left and right.
Complainers kid is coming off a dubious injury and getting very little minutes.
How should I handle this situation? If at all. Also the guy is weird + hangs out with the moms more than the dad's at games and practices.
Just sit away from them.
