I understand that it's a judgment call on the officials' part as to how they view it. There were multiple officials there who didn't see a need to go any further with it, so I'm not suggesting they're "wrong" here. I'm just surprised because from what I've seen, that kind of contact is almost always an ejection. But that kind of contact is also most often coming from a player and not the head coach of the team.

In my opinion the coach should have been tossed. He had already been flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct and then contacts the official in an agressive manner. To me this deserves an ejection given what else has been given ejections this year for contacting officials.
