If you watch video of other coach/umpire arguments, you will see the same movement of the head accompanying the yelling and the body movements. For example, the old "minor league meltdown video":

Check out the movement of the coach's head as he yells. If he was wearing a HSM there would be contact.
Incidental contact, no doubt about it. And, wisely, so ruled by the authorities in this case.
