I like everything you wrote except the part where you mentioned his "players' lack of skill". That's where you maybe crossed the line from standing up for the officials to very politely sh*t-talking the coach. If you'd have replaced "the lack of skill of your players" with "the game you lost", I think you nailed it.

You maybe just gave him more ammo to throw back at you.

Right on for calling him on the carpet, though.
