fan/coach behavior

Filing a complaint is about as much as you can do. These folks have major problems in their lives, and they're taking it out on you. That's easier than actually dealing with reality. Even if you were the worst ref they'd ever seen, and had completely ruined the game for everyone in the gym, they have no right to talk to you that way. As Padgett says, "Hey, leave me alone. I don't come into your place of business and unplug the Slurpee machine!" Okay, don't say that, but you're allowed to think it if you don't smirk. If they get through more than about two sentences, it's harassment, and your complaint to the league should be taken seriously. People like that have no place out in public.
