Sounds like you handled a bad situation very well with a couple of exceptions.
1- I would not have made the statement, "Coach, we can't be 32 points bad." Stay away from comments like that.
2- I would have refered the reporter to my booking agent and let him address the matter, assuming your area uses a booking agent. If not, follow whatever guidelines are in place about speaking to the press, which I believe you wrote, "I stated that I wasn't suppose to talk to the media about games." Stick to it.
Incidentally, the coach would have been reprimanded, put on probation or fined by the state office in NC for criticizing the officials in the newspaper. The penalty would depend upon whether it had happened before or not.
