If you watch the replay, you can clearly see 3 things.
1. Our coach was walking towards the dugout while watching the ball in the air.
2. The UF catcher was already camped under the ball waiting on it by the time the idiot UF 1B ran into our coach.
3. The idiot 1B is initially charging straight towards the play, looks down to find out where our coach is, and then actually takes a couple of sideways steps towards our coach.
Should our coach have made a beeline towards the dugout? Maybe so. But, he was in no way interfering with the play. Furthermore, the 1B bothered to look for him and still ran into him despite the fact that our coach was moving away from the play even though he was only walking.
