One has a right to no civil authority over his religion. The coach violated that right.
Well, as I said in the post following the one to which you responded...

The problem here is that this is a government representative leading his students in a religious exercise while in his capacity as a government representative. It would be different if he, as an ordinary citizen (which he is when he is not acting in his capacity as a government representative) led a bunch of kids in prayer during an event that had nothing whatsoever to do with the school.
