You don't want to have rabbit ears as a ref and T a coach for muttering to himself IMO.

I disagree completely. Well, not completely. I like waiting at the center circle and he knows he's coming into your territory (on thin ice). I don't think you have to T the guy for this, but I think you
HAVE TO ADDRESS his comment. Absolutely do not ignore it! He may not have wanted you to hear it, but you did. How often does he do things like this when only his team can hear him and he runs down your credibility to them? I want him to think I hear everything and let him know he is on a short verbal leash. We don't always have to T coaches for their actions, but we need to address them and help them understand where bounderies are. Too often we ignore it and the bad behavior continues.
