I'd agree that it was a possibility, but he used a couple of phrases that don't allow for that. First and foremost, "abuse the whistle." That's never a good thing, and the attitude is awful. And Rut, it's one thing to joke about it, kinda like joking about not allowing an overtime, it's another to actually abuse the whistle. The "comebacks" thread is another example of this.
Secondly, by "slying pointing" to the Dad, and noting that the Dad was then quiet for the rest of the game, he has at least given the impression to Dad that the fouls were called because of the fan's comments.
This behavior is not acceptable for officials, because he has, at best, given the fan the impression of vindictiveness. At best, it's a ref on a power trip. Unless the whole post was a joke, he needs to reexamine his ego and leave it at the door.
I hope the Dad in question called the league to complain.
