He was out of bounds in the opposition's sidelines when he was tripped. His intent was to avoid being blocked when attempting to tackle the receiver. The coaches were lined up to prevent this. One knucklehead thought it would be a good idea to trip him. That was wrong. He risked injury to the player and was not a player himself.
I think a rule change is in order here to prevent this:
Any player running out of bounds at any time during any play is an ineligible player for the remainder of that play. Period. The game is played in bounds, not in and out.
