Hey Coach G., welcome to the forum! From this & your other post it sounds like you had a rough day - I know where you're you're coming from, having coached GS/MS for 10 years until my youngest finally hit high school & I went back to officiating. The best I can suggest is learn what you can from it & move on.
I applaud the effort you're obviously making with your girls, it sounds like you're the kind of coach youth sports needs more of. The coach of the team you played clearly is not....
In reality, we officials don't dislike coaches per se. The vast majority of them are great - it's just the antics of a small percentage that either deliberately or through their ignorance cause problems. The type of coaching behavior you described is what you may see occasionally referred to on this board as a "howler monkey". If you've ever seen one in a zoo, the analogy is straightforward.....
Good luck with your girls - hopefully they are having fun and learning some skills along the way!
