The official is now the hero and the coach is the goat and rightly so; because he made an enormous mistake.
So now what do you gain by throwing him in jail for a night... Assuming he can make bail...?

That is even more reason he needs to be gone and in jail. If this had happened in a bar, we would not be talking about what should nor what should be happening here. We would be making it clear that the person had violated the law should be prosecuted. This person is supposed to be an example for his kids and school.
And since you do not know what will be gained, he needs to have on his actual record that anytime he applies for a job that someone can see he was convicted of a crime. And since he is around kids, that should matter. There are people all over that have even a misdemeanor violation that have to explain to an employer why they are convicted. Maybe that will help deter others from acting like they cannot behave during a sporting event. As I have said, if officials started attacking everyone that said something bad to us or did something we did not like, we would not get a pass I am sure. They would talk about us as an authority figure and we would have to pay for our actions.
To me the playing field/court should be the last place this stuff happens. It is not like the world is going to come crashing down because you do not like a block/charge call. It is one thing to come onto the court, but it is another to even think of touching that person and not even the person that had anything to do with the call.
