Removing yourself from that situation would be the thing you need to try to do. In an assult situation I would say that self-defense is allowed. But in an assult situation I would hope that other officials and more cool-headed coaches would come to you assistance. Some states have new laws just for these kind of situations. These laws increase the penalty on the assultor when an official in youth sports is assulted. If you would have called the police had the same thing happened to you at the mall then call them. These days there are many camcorders at every game. These people are witnesses and a copy of their tape can be used as evidence. If you don't think it was severe enough for the police but you still didn't like it you can report it to the league authorities. Let them deal with the coach.
