One of our coaches that was really hard on officials is a D1 men's official himself. He is very competitive (and quite a good coach) and also has a standard of officiating that will never be met in girls ball HS and below - you are dealing with a different group of officials there than in NCAA.
But even his understanding of the game and of the nature of the job does not make him any easier on officials (though I believe he has gotten much better in the past year or so). This means that coaches can be jerks, officials can be jerks, and officials can be jerks as coaches. It really is an individual thing.
