And nobody else has a problem with an official hauling off and shoving a coach/chain crew/anyone???
If someone on the sideline did that to me htey would be ejected!

I've had a closer look at that James and the guy is a spectator (the coaching staff on that sideline are in black tops with beige long pants) who has run on towards the Referee being chased by two officials from the sideline.

For every coach that thinks we got it wrong there's another that thinks we got it right.

The main question I have on this is why is the crew still on the field once the game is over?
From a reliable source who spoke to the crew:

They were waiting on the BJ who went back to retreive his bean bag from the end of the kick. 

Deputies on duty charged with escorting the officials became caught up in the crowd rushing the field.

The fan who rushed the R was cursing and threatening violence.

The referee judged that the contact with the kicker was the result of the block by the A player.

It's a bean bag.  It's $5.  Let it go!

Understandable

Still not sure that justified the official's actions.  But that's where the deputies should have been.

Sorry, that's just a miss!  The direction of the block was not toward the kicker.  The rusher contacted the kicker IN SPITE OF the block, not BECAUSE of.

Life in D3 football.  In some ways, it's worse conditions than good high school football.

I agree on all your points.
