Let's pretend, just for the fun of it, that Coach is correct and the refs screwed up. Again, this is just pretending. Now if the refs just flat blew it and missed the call, the coaches initial comments begin to make some sense; surely there is always room to improve the political correctness, but realistically, the comments are understandable in the context of the refs blowing the call.

Maybe a "coach, looks like there was some contact (hello - ain't it obvious) and we missed it. Let's get the player the attention they need and we'll work harder (which, hello, should be obvious)".

Just because we miss it doesn't put more restrictions on the coaches. Short of profanity, sounds to me like the refs needed a bit of "refocus motivation" at that point. Sure, the motivation needs to be constructive rather than ranting, but if the motivation takes the form of a rant, we need to understand we probably "earned" that one and "hear" the true message - get it together!!
