It wasn't a "demonstrative move;" it was an attempt to injure. That he was charged with anything less than assault is an injustice.

How about you watch the video again. It's really simple.
1. Someone who intends to headbutt you drops their chin, if they don't they'd make first contact with their own nose first instead of the forehead. His stays level.
2. Watch the slow motion video. Their head pass each other slightly. Meaning either their faces melded together at contact, or the coach directed his head to the side of the official. The official doesn't move his head to the side, only backward with his body afterwards. You saying the coach just missed?
It was a gesture of intimidation, hence the reason charged with harrasment and why he shouldn't coach again. Or are you still convinced he entirely meant to injure the ref and just missed from about a foot away?
