Here's my response.
Never 'ask' a coach to leave, DEMAND it!
Once the coach physically 'pushed' you, you have every LEGAL right to defend yourself within reason. Within reason, would mean that I would drag his #*#@ out of MY dressing area and use whatever technique (except knives, guns, etc.) I could manage. Forget whether I was naked, half-dressed, or totally dressed, his butt would be out of my dressing room!!!
I hate that any official, at any level, whether it was well-officiated or not, would have to endure such a situation.
This clown has absolutely NO BUSINESS being in anyone's school district.
And the most unfortunate aspect is his punishment will not fit his behavior. He'll tell everyone he was abused as a child and that he couldn't control himself. The school board will declare that the coach is a 'victim' and demand that he seek counseling for RAGE CONTROL.
Don't laugh, a similar circumstance happened in Tennessee at the grade school level, and that was the result. Fortunately, a principle with high character, a couple of months later, dismissed him. But, I don't think he went to Iowa.
