Same thing. He's telling you that you're a "farging icehole", but he's glad that the coach didn't tell you that you were. Kind of like:

Coach: Hey ref, can you T me up for something that I think?
Ref: No, Coach.
Coach: Good. Because I think you suck.

I could have "T"ed him up for that, but I knew he would cross the line in a matter of time.

He already crossed the line. And big time, too. Not just standing outside the coaching box. He just called you fargin icehole -- to your face!!! What the heck line were you waiting for?

I don't know your experience or the area you're from. And I don't mean any of my comments to be taken personally. But from an officiating POV, I can't imagine NOT pulling the trigger on that comment. As I said in a previous post, I can't imagine that your assignor would not back you up on that call.

He was getting his butt kicked by a team that wasn't even in his class. ( his team was ranked in the top 5, the other team not in the top 10 ( or 20 for that matter )

This is not at all relevant, IMO. Up by 2, down by 50, you call me a fargin icehole to my face, and your night is probably done.
