Rank the refs

There's a Davism you can use in a similar situation. When a coach tells you something like "you are the worst official ever" or "that was the worst officiated game ever", you can reply by telling him that would be impossible. When he looks at you with that vacant howler monkey stare, tell him it would be too much of a coincidence for the worst officiated game ever and the worst coached game ever to have happened in the same game.

Then, just for good measure, puke on his shoes.
