The coach basically poked the ball away. He simply touched the ball. That happens hundreds of time per game. A thrown chair happens once every couple of decades at the most.

Throwing a chair is in itself a more overt act and certainly more aggressive, regardless of whether it is thrown at someone or not. (Just ask the lady that got hit in the face last week.)

If we can't agree that throwing a chair is extreme and pushing the ball is not extreme, then we are living in "separate worlds" and should go our "separate ways" (with apologies to Steve Perry and Journey) because any further conversation is probably pointless.
