Well tough situation you have going on and there will be no "easy" solutions but I can tell you that doing nothing will not fix a thing.

First, as a former elite high school athlete (many decades ago) I had the experience of playing for many coaches. Eventually I also coached JV and then Varsity sports for several years. Any coach worth his salt should stress the following order of importance.

1) Your religion comes first in your life.

2) Your family comes second in you life.

3) Your schoolwork comes third in your life.

4) This sport comes fourth in your life.

Already sounds like your coach and school system is a doosey. Regardless, Permision to practice and play in games is needed by parents and can be revoked at any time. If you decide to revoke it, make sure to communicate to the team and the coaches that it was your son who let everyone down by not living up to his end of the bargain. When he again meets his end of the bargain permession to play will be re-instated instantly. Grades are easily checked anymore with teachers and usually even availble for online viewing by students, coaches and parents.

Lastly, I was also bigger than my dad by 8th grade (and he was 6' 2"). He always said it made no differnce if he was 80 that I would never whip him even if he needed a 2x4 or a baseball bat whatever. He was right too as I never would have swung on my dad unless was doing something really bad (which he never did).

Anyway, whatever course you choose be prepared to follow through with it as idle threats are useless and kids know it. I knew my dad would follow through to the most stubborn degree necessary and that he would never take the easey way out - even if that meant he got arrested and I got arrested and ended up in foster care. Sometimes you have to seemingly lose a battle to win a war.
