also Caleb is a CM, I heavily suggest you research the CM trope and refrain from using it as you don't seem to grasp it very well.

an "evil" character is not always a CM.. it takes a great deal of on-screen action to achieve this status and Buffy was a show that had very high heinous standards because the very idea of the show was "fighting the forces of darkness" (meaning she faced "evil" beings every day).

Caleb and CMs like Billy went way beyond the standards of "evil" beings, for example Caleb happily used his own thumb to gouge out Xander's (a beloved main character) eye out and was on record as sadistically murdering many young girls simply for being girls.. this was just the "standard" attacks Caleb did.. he was a CM because of both heinous standards *and* scale.. I think you don't understand that.. a CM generally has great "evil" but also a different scale altogether than your average "nasty" villain.

many of your choices were demons.. demons are unable to be CMs in Buffy as they are parasitic.. as for Kiddy League Coach? he fails the standards because of what I stated above.. in a universe where many *one-shot* antagonists seek to *end existence itself* it takes more than child cruelty (even as violent as the KLC) to count and it requires numerous acts of immorality that often shocks the viewers as much as the characters.
