Popped a coach for clapping at me

So in a boys game would you have done the same thing?

Not being critical, genuinely wondering.

Yes. It is not your place as a coach to tell an official what to do. You would not like it as a coach if I told you what to call or how to coach, so do not tell me how to respond to a question. It is that simple.

Honestly, in my area, there are not a lot of good girls officials IMO. They act a fool with them and thinks that works with everyone. It does not.

I'm sorry, I thought I was somewhat street savoy, but could please further explain this comment?
Thank you

What is there to explain? Not everyone is going to react to the same behavior. You might just meet the wrong one on the day you are acting a fool.

I don't want to speak for him, but I believe he's suggesting that they get away with a lot of not-so-great behavior with the majority of officials in their games, and they're caught off guard when they get an official who won't let them get away with it.
