IMHO, I would not address him because I have found that many refs are more concerned with the power/arrogance involved with officiating than getting better. You can have both to some extent but many times suggestions/constructive critism isn't welcomed. I like this type of feedback because it is always a good thing to know what the norm is for a particular conference/league.
As far as what he said to the players, it really isn't needed. I have said something similar to a HS player before but it was never said so everyone can hear it. For a men's league I would tell them to stop and then I would handle business. A warning isn't always the thing to do either depending on how severe the situation.
