You mean aside from punching you in the face?
I'm not addressing your comments as Joe Q. Public. I'm addressing your comments based on the fact that you are an official until you leave the grounds of a school. Your capacity doesn't end when the horn sounds. You are still a representative of your local association and your state association.

There are step at scalastic level to report that coach and player and beyond that what other steps would you take?

I don't know what scalastic is. But I do know that whether the game is over or not, I am still an official until I leave the grounds of that school. Coaches and players are accountable to the school, the local school board and the state asscoiation. The school is accountable for the conduct of fans on their premises. Even if it were a fan that approached me in the parking lot and directed racial, profane or vulgar language at me, damn skippy I would report the incident. It's more appropriate for me to approach someone in such a manner than it is for them to approach me.
I don't stop being an official just because the game is over.
