I'm not allowing this. I'm more likely to allow a coach to tell me to f*** off.

I tend to agree. The official addressed the coaches comment but said he didn't want to T him and compound his mistake.
You could make the argument that he compounded it by not sticking him as well.
The larger point, IMO anyway, is that he would have had no qualms issuing the T had he not put himself in a bad position to begin with by engaging with the coach on a partner's call.
