Depends on the coach
I'm assuming that the youngest officials are still working their way up the ladder, running games in lower level leagues and gaining experience in the process. Good coaches usually will cut a new official, especially if they are young, some slack.
Lousy coaches may try to intimidate a young official. But those types of coaches are usually the same loudmouths trying to work the veteran officials as well, usually to no avail.
