HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -- An assistant coach for Miami of Ohio was released on bail Wednesday after he was led off the field in handcuffs and charged with shoving a fan celebrating Marshall's last-second win.

	Miami of Ohio defensive coordinator Jon Wauford is led away in handcuffs by West Virginia State Police after knocking a fan to the turf after Tuesday's loss to Marshall.

Defensive coordinator Jon Wauford was charged with battery, a misdemeanor. He was released on $5,000 bond Wednesday and has a court hearing Dec. 13.

Robert Flaugher, a 36-year-old fan from Pickerington, Ohio, was treated and released from St. Mary's Medical Center early Wednesday, spokesman Dan Londeree said.

Flaugher was among thousands of Marshall fans who stormed the field moments after quarterback Stan Hill scored on a 1-yard run with 5 seconds left to give the Thundering Herd a 36-34 victory Tuesday night.

Flaugher hit his head on the artificial turf and was taken on a stretcher to a hospital with a concussion, a police report said. He underwent a CT scan and had a "pounding headache," his brother, Todd, said from the hospital.

"My brother was jumping up and down, celebrating with the Marshall players," Todd Flaugher said. "He said he was waving goodbye to the Miami players and that one of them threw their mouthpieces at him. He said the next thing he knew, he was in an ambulance."

The 32-year-old Wauford was placed in handcuffs by state police and taken to Cabell County Magistrate Court.

A West Virginia state police department spokesman said Wednesday that two of the three troopers involved in Wauford's arrest observed the incident and then moved into position to make the arrest.

There were 10 state trooopers working the game as well as about 10 officers from the sherriff's department.

Todd Flaugher, 33, said neither he nor his brother used abusive language toward any Miami players or coaches. The brothers were near the south end zone, getting ready to leave the stadium.

"It was a sucker punch, basically," Todd Flaugher said.

On Sept. 19, Kansas City Royals first-base coach Tom Gamboa was attacked during a game against the Chicago White Sox. A 35-year-old man and his 15-year-old son were charged.

"This was nothing like that," Todd Flaugher said. "No one touched him."

Todd Flaugher said police led Miami head coach Terry Hoeppner to see Rob Flaugher on the ground.

Witness Matt Riley said he saw the coach "just take his forearm and give him a quick shove. His head looked like it snapped back and hit the turf hard."

Mid-American Conference commissioner Rick Chryst was standing near Wauford, who pleaded his case with state police as he was led away.

A message left at Chryst's hotel room in Huntington early Wednesday was not immediately returned.

The frustration of a fifth straight loss to Marshall also boiled over in the Miami coaches box, where a desk was destroyed and chairs were hurled through walls.

With its title hopes dashed, Miami players and coaches left the stadium without talking to the media and RedHawks officials refused to comment on Wauford's arrest.

Wauford was a three-time all-MAC defensive end at Miami of Ohio from 1989-91. He later played the same position for Ottawa and Las Vegas in the Canadian Football League.
