Agreed. There is no rule in the rule book against such contacts.
I might mention to the coach that if that player gets hurt, it would be hard for the EMTs or trainers to accurately assess the player. Don't say it to the parents- they will take it out of context or not understand what you're saying. Now that I think about it, the coach probably will too.
