When one of the refs comes over to us and says I quote "tough game huh?" coach says yeah but you guys didnt help. The ref comes back with I quote again "If you didnt hound us the whole game, you might have got some of the calls to go your way!" I was shocked. We both just looked at him and walked away. So my question is to you do I do something about this ref or do I just let it drop and say he might have had a bad day. thanks

Why would you do anything about it? Your head coach was wrong for "letting the refs" know about the "bad job" they were doing during the game. What good did that do other than make it harder on the officials?
Maybe the ref shouldn't have approached the coach after the game, but his comment of "tough game huh" makes me think he just felt kinda bad and was trying to be nice. Then the head coach turned it into an adversarial conversation with his comment. So the official then gets a little bent and says something in response which he maybe shouldn't have.
If I was you (being a ref and knowing how hard it can be), I'd be more concerned about the behavior of the head coach than a ref who just got rode during the game and then had a sarcastic comment directed his way afterwards.
