As a coach, I might say something very much like this to a player, even if I didn't think thevref missed a foul -- I would want to change the player's behavior, and to do that it doesn't matter whether the first foul was a foul or not if the player feels it was.

In and of itself.. No, it's not a problem.
But 1) he'd been complaining about not calling illegal screens where neither myself, my partners, or the guy evaluating us, saw even one. And 2) it was clearly a way to complain yet again to me about not getting a call. Passive-aggressive crap if you will. And that type of thing is unnecessary.
It's no different IMO than a coach flat-out looking at you and saying "that was a bad call." Maybe not t-worthy, but not something I'm going to ignore either.
