Think about it. If you call Archie Bunker a bigot, is that a racist remark?

Yes, it could be.
Now, my point.
It makes absolutely no difference whether the official was a bigot or not.
It makes absolutely no difference whether the coach was a bigot or not.
That's not the point, although you continue to hammer it home for some reason.
What matters is that it was a racist remark.
Why?
Because he called the official a bigot based on his belief that the official was making calls against his team because of the color of their skin.
Do you disagree with that last statement?
Do you not see the racist implications in that statement?
