I agree with Lawump on this play.

What's awarded is the "right to advance without being put out by the defense." The offense must still run the bases legally.

I suppose it's possible (I didn't re-watch the play) that the defense had the ball at the time of the coach's assistance. So, we could make the argument that the ball was then dead (for the obs award) and there wasn't any assistance.
