"C'mon ref, lighten up a little." I'd have to hear how it was said, but that doesn't sound like a problem. Could quite possibly even be said in a friendly manner.
But a kid repeatedly yelling for any call from the bench is not acceptable, in my opinion. If he sees something and spontaneously yells it (e.g. That's a foul!) I can live with that. The kid in my situation was repeatedly yelling for the 3 second call, and laughing about it. Coach had opportunity to stop it. He didn't, so I did.
