This truly sounds like Rec league hell. Here is something I have used in the past when it looks like things are going to be like this the whole game. I will get the coaches together and let them know that we have heard enough complaining and we are not going to tolerate anymore from the coaches or players. I then let the coaches know that I am going over to the table to check some things out for the next 10-15 seconds and that I expect them to use this time to relay what I have said to their players. I then step away
blow my whistle and instruct the players go to their benches
and call my partner to the table and go over what was said.
It has worked more often than not to get everyones mind back on playing ball and off the complaining.
