The person that held their coats was a young Saul.

References:

(NIV) Acts 7:54-60 "54When they heard this, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him.55But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 56"Look," he said, "I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God." 57At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him, 58dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul. 59While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." 60Then he fell on his knees and cried out, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." When he had said this, he fell asleep."

Instead of defending himself at the trial, Acts portrays Stephen as insulting the Jews and then announcing that he could, at that very moment, see God in heaven above. The angry Jews stoned Stephen, while Saul held their coats.
