After reading all of this discussion, I'm surprised the following scenario didn't occur:
Administrator approaches officials, tells the one that "swore" he's outta here. Partner T's the home team up for administrator verbally abusing the officials. Game continues with free throws to start the 3rd quarter.
That's how it would happen with me, and if the administrator persisted, I'd declare a forfeit. If the administrator raises a stink, I have the rule book to back me up and tell him to report me to my assignor.

And the administrator turns and signels for the county police offer(s) on hand to escort the ref off of school grounds. The county school board or superintendent of schools the next day calls in the head off the officials association and reads him the riot act. Warns that the association will be blackballed if their refs dont cleanup their act. The day after that, a designated member of the state board of education or the state superintendent of schools calls the state officials sanctioning body and tells them that all of this has really gotten out of hand. He/she reminds the official organization that the principal of a school has 100% control of everything that happens on school grounds. Any problems with the actions of the principal are handled through normal school channels.
