As it should be. Knuckleheads like this reflect poorly on the entire school. Any AD or Principal worth a darn would sit on this guy (coach in OP) in a hurry.

From the FHSAA Basketball handbook:

30.4 Public Criticism of Officials. No coach or other representative of the school’s athletic interests may publicly
criticize or berate an official prior to, during or following a contest. Professional ethics require that coaches or other representatives
of the school’s athletic interests use proper channels, as per Bylaw 10.3.2, to report their complaints about officials rather than airing
them publicly. A minimum monetary penalty of $50 shall be assessed a school whose coach or other representative of the school’s
athletic interests are in violation of this provision.
