He can move the player anywhere he wants if there is an empty square available. Crowd push I say.

Sidestep specifically states that it can only be used if there are free squares to sidestep to. So it's a crowd push

Side Step (Agility)
A player with this skill is an expert at stepping neatly out of the way of an
attacker. To represent this ability, his coach may choose which square
the player is moved to when he is pushed back, rather than the opposing
coach. Furthermore, the coach may choose to move the player to any
adjacent square, not just the three squares shown on the Push Back
diagram.
Note that the player may not use this skill if there are no open
squares on the field adjacent to this player. Note that the coach may
choose which square the player is moved to even if the player is knocked
down after the push back.
So it's not a crowd push.
EDIT: unless I misunderstood the diagram and the o thingies are players too :s
