First off, I would apologize for my crewmates mistake.
"Coach, I know you're angry and I'm willing to accept that your angry and we will take some criticism for it. But we handled an unfortunate incident according to rule and we can't change anything now. I'm going to give you a minute to say what you feel you need to say and then I need you to get back to coaching your kids.""
But, it sounds like this coach was your typical howler-monkey and would rather tell us what we aren't doing right than coaching his kids. If his critism continues into other plays and other situation, it has got to stop. I might respond by saying something like, "Coach, let's get back to coaching. I've heard enough."
If it continues past this, flag him. In my situation, the flag settled him back down into coaching his kids. I didn't hear a peep out of him after the flag and after he vented a little about the flag.
