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.
I am only looking at this one case. It is the only one under discussion. And he head butted the guy despite your objection to this fact. If the authorities are overlooking it is becuase the coach's actions were much more serious.

This video is not representative of what happened here and therefore irrelevant. The umpires in this case are completely composed and the coach has lost his mind, but he didn't head butt anybody.
