PPS (pushy parent syndrome)

Lack of Respect,
It sounds like you have a specific issue that you are trying to deal with and manage. I suspect that you have had a parent come to you with one or more of these "issues" relating to their child.

1. Why isn't my child in the starting 5?
2. Why isn't my child getting more court time?
3. Why isn't my child playing in a higher grade?
4. Why don't you tell the rest of your team to pass to my child?

The other types of "issues" coaches face seem to revolve around success factors, or coaching style. "why don't you teach our children this play?" I presume you are coaching to your Club's Coaching Director/Head Coach's style requirements, so sometimes the best way to manage stakeholders who question your coaching ability or style is to explain that you are running the official club plays and perhaps if they consider them to be the wrong style, they should provide feedback direct to the JDO or CD.

Like someone said above, we all have to deal with people with whom we find difficult. These "difficult" people usually have a few styles of negotiation which needs a slightly different approach to manage, but they are all manageable. eg "The Sherman Tank" They go in like a tank and try to steamroll all in their path. "The Sniper" who takes cheap shots from the sidelines, but are nice as pie to your face. "The Bomb" They go off, rant and rave, then calm down. "The Snake" They sew the seeds of deception, run down others that are threats to them, flutter their eyelids like they are all sweat and innocent to sucker you in.

What exactly is the issue at hand that is troubling you? What style of negotiation is this "pushy parent" using to try to get their way?
