Jim,
The base coach does not seem like he is assisting the baserunner by being in the way and having the baserunner run into him.
I would think "assisting" the base-runner would be to intentionally do something to hinder/stop/prohibit.
What would happen if the base coach was right next to the base waving for the runner to "get down", but the base runner runs through the sign, and runs smack dab into the coach. Interference?
Coach was having base-runner intentionally run into him. Does it matter what type of body language the base coach has going at the time of collision?
IMO, R1 safe. Incidental contact. Nothing intentional.
