hollow threat
We had something not nearly so vile, but along the same lines.
(First of all, if coaches are allowed to ding officials because they don't agree with calls, then that system is FUBAR in the first place.)
We had a private school from several hours away playing one we service. I meet with the coach and give him a list of officials, out of courtesy.
In the first half there's a pass interference call -- I don't remember if it was a call or no-call -- that this coach didn't agree with. He starts screaming "I'm reporting you. I have your name."
All I did was laugh because this was a completely hollow, meaningless threat. He has no authority to call anyone to complain about a judgment call. Even if he knew whom to call, the call wouldn't be well received or given any credence. So all he really did was prove himself to be an a$$.
