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...?

He now has an arrest record that he has to answer to for background checks. He's teaching (special ed, from what I have red) kids in school, and I'd be shocked if this was his first time physically losing his temper.

And physical assault in the course of performing his duties is not going to be easy to move through. I'm ok with that. I want this to be a felony, too.

What's gained? Maybe, just maybe, a hot head stops having a chance to teach kids.

What's gained? Maybe, just maybe, the next hot head realizes he doesn't get away with acting like a 5 year old child just because he gets caught up in the heat of the competition.

He's a damned adult and should be expected to act accordingly.

And if an official head butted a coach in the midst of a heated discussion, I think we'd all be calling for charges there, too. Assaulting people has consequences in the real world, and the basketball court is not an exemption to the real world.
