The kid should be running laps. You don't want your kid running laps, make sure he's to practice on time.

I volunteered at Mansfield high school to teach an after-school music program. Kids showed up more than 30 minutes late, they sat and watched. These people are there to be babysitters. They are there to do a job. A parent that brings their kid to practice late needs to accept that there are consequences. What kind of example is it for the other kids in the group to have a teammate show up late with no ramifications? It's Football practice, not happy skipping through a field practice.

The Coach shouldn't be the only one charged. Unless police showed up on scene and witnesses state that the coach initiated the physical altercation, they should both be treated equally.

The only reason the dad went to the cops is because he tried to play Mr. Tough Guy and it resulted in him getting his ass handed to him.
