According to the IAABO, it's a direct technical foul on the head coach.

13. While the official passes team A’s bench, someone from the bench utters uncomplimentary language. The official is not able to designate which bench personnel uttered the words. Official charges a technical foul to the head coach. Is the official correct?

Yes, the official is correct. Rule 10 Section 4 Art 1c>
