Again, as I read your play the coach did nothing wrong. If the ball's heading towards him out of bounds he's not required to move...although I imagine one fine day A1 will plow into him trying to save the ball & give him a new outlook.

Unless it was obvious (like coach a took a few steps before touching the ball) I have nothing.
