It would be just as ignorant and stupid to suggest that the official couldn't restrain himself because of his race. Let's not make something about race merely because it is possible.
Put simply, we don't have enough info to make any conclusions about what led to the incident. But, unless the coach grabbed the officials hands and put them there, the official should lose his officiating credientials.

Just because you do not want to go there, does not mean that others (with their life experience) cannot draw their own conclusion. I do know one thing as an official I have never seen another official yell and scream at a coach in order and then assault them. So I can come to a conclusion that the coach must have said something. And for someone to go that far that coach likely said something over the top. I have never even seen the most inexperienced official react “that way” over just some normal words or comments. I will stick with my assumption at this point and something was confirmed the suggestion of the article.
