This is a judgement call...a certain level of "boxing out" contact has to be allowed, but one of the reasons we stay with the shooter when that shot goes up is to catch the fouls that happen after the shooter lands.
Gets knocked back a couple feet, I'd say no-call.
Anything more than that, or if the shooter ends up on his butt, call it. Boxing out is not a free pass to body check.
As for the coach and kid, walk away. It doesn't sound like it was one of those yell-across-the-court-and-show-up-the-ref type comments.
