Runner from 2nd overruns third heading home, and is physically stopped by his coach, who pushes him back to 3rd base.

Throw goes home for the apparent force at home - F2 catches and touches home in plenty of time, but does not tag. Runner slides home.

R2 was out upon the coach's interference. Force is off. Safe.

That's my take.
