My two bits'. Flagrant T and a detailed report. I probably would have turned around and walked back to the court to charge the technical foul as soon as the verbal abuse became apparent. No way I'm standing there and taking that.
And, assuming the profanities during the game were directed at the official, those would have earned a quick T as well. It might have told the coach he couldn't get away with that.

When I was a young lad getting started in officiating, I had a similar experience. A junior high coach came into our locker room at halftime and chewed on me for a couple of minutes. I didn't do anything for two reasons: 1. I was young and inexperienced. 2. It was my old junior high coach and I was quite shocked he would do this. I regreted not sticking him after the game and ever since. No way it happens now. This is one time I might be inclined to give the stop sign , out of sight, just stick my hand right in his face and tell him to save it. I would have no problem starting the second half with a T if he didn't comply. If he were the one with the keys to my dressing room and wouldn't open it after the first one, he would be real close to the 2nd one as well.

There is no way a coach would be yelling and screaming at me off the court in that way. If this is a HS game, this would be filed as what we call a "Special Report" which is used for ejection reports or anything unusual that might need to be brought to the attention of our state. My official's association has no power over this. My assignor might also want to know what took place as well.

Before all of that, the coach would have known that his behavior was not acceptable by me in some way even if I was not working the game. You are not going to yelling and scream at me after the game is over.

(This rant is NFHS based)

Far be it from me, a 4th year official just now starting to do varsity, to normally question the competence of a brother(sister) official. BUT....I really question whether the victim is ready to handle varsity basketball based on the OP. There is no way an official IMHO, should EVER tolerate profanity on the court. Not from players. Not from coaches. Frankly, not even from fans. Regular profanity is an automatic T. Screaming as described in the OP is flagerant. I agee. Bye-bye. And paperwork to the State High School Association. (Which is mandatory in Ohio for ejections.)

This situation is so eggregious, I'm actually getting fired up reading about it.

In The Back Of Your Rules Book Is "the Coaches Code Of Ethics". The Coaches Have This Same Rule Book.

In The Back Of Your Officials Manual You'll Find "the Duties Of Game Management", The Administrators Have This Copy Also. Use Documentation By Nfhs To Back Yourself Up If Needed. You Have Witnesses, Nothing Else Needed But To Address The Problem.
