It was obviously a jerk comment, but I'm pretty confident you can't whack him once you've left the court.
The obvious thing to do is nod and say thanks, then place his towel in the toilet and flush repeatedly, j/k.

I wouldn't respond.
I wouldn't acknowledge his statement. I would write it up in a report to my assignor.

In an uncomfortable twist, the two of them had to let us in the dressing room, since the varsity guys had popped into the other gym to catch the end of the other game. The AC (who I think was the HC's dad) said, as he was opening the door, "I want to say, from experience...." I interupted him there, and told him I didn't want the conversation to continue since I couldn't see it going anywhere positive. The HC came in, and tried to make a point, and I repeated myself. "What are you going to do, give me another technical?" "No, coach. I'm just asking that we drop this conversation." "Well, I don't think you were approachable in the game." "Well, I explained every call you asked me to." "Can I ask why I got the T?" "Because I'd warned you already to stop." Coach: "Well, good luck the rest of the season." This is why I tried to get off the court and away from the coaches. Sorry to vent, y'all.

It should be mandatory for schools to either provide us with a key to the dressing room or have some form of game management be responsible for letting us in/out of the changing area. Our mechanics are designed to prevent these types of exchanges and they do us no good if we now have to find the coach to open our room and invite the exchange. It doesn't help us and it certainly is hard on the coaches who are also trying to unwind from a competitive game. To me, it happens far too often.

Towel? Heck, I'd be happy if every school just had a bottle of water for you at half time. A drink of some kind is going to directly benefit the game (dehydration leads to muscle fatigue and poorer performance by the officials).

I think you handled the second part of the situation (in the locker room) correctly. The problem with our lower level games (Adam and I work in the same association) is that our game management in many cases is none other than the head coach of the home team. Not a situation we like, but with budgets and such, that's what we get. Where were at for this game?
