Unless there's video evidence to show that a) the officials were doing a poor job, and b) the officials were as unprofessional in their contact with the coach as he states.

In my experience, associations have a vested interest in maintaining a professional image; and state governing bodies even more so.

I recognize that there's a second (and third) side to this story, that's why I added the caveat. The thing is, I've worked with officials like this.

Now, they tend to be of a category I forgot to mention. On their way out. I worked with a guy a few times who was way past his sell-by-date. Aside from being slow to position and having poor mechanics (often hard to tell what he was calling), he was quick to get into it with fans.
