Next time you're heading into this sitch, before the game tell the new ref what to expect from the coach, and encourage him to whack the coach if necessary (which it was in this case). THAT's a good confidence booster.
If he doesn't do it, you should. Never acceptable behavior from a coach, especially when it's tantamount to bullying the "new" kid.
