Update
The DA has recommended that the coach should be cited for harassment, a summary offense that carries a maximum of 90 days in jail (not likely, in this case) and a maximum fine of $300; no simple assault charge.
In the circumstances of what happened, "a person commits the crime of harassment when, with intent to harass, annoy or alarm another, the person strikes, shoves, kicks or otherwise subjects the other person to physical contact, or attempts or threatens to do the same."
