Coach appears to headbutt official

[PaREF]

Whether he is fired or not is up to his employers. My point is that the DA said that there was no intent to injure, so he did not charge him with assault. I just don't understand how you can say that a head butt is not an intent to injure. Did you watch the clip from the press conference? When the DA talked about him "running over the guy" he acted like it was funny!

There are many discussions about how we as officials are protected from assault under the law but we have a (in my opinion) clear case of someone assaulting an official and he is not charged with assault but harassment. I'm not sure what would be necessary to constitute assault in Philadelphia. Being hit with a chair, kicking, punching? Does blood need to be spilled or is a broken bone OK? I guess every municipality has its own idea of what is or is not assault.
