You have to judge whether that's closer to "that call stinks!" or to "you stink!" Only one of those is a personal comment. The other might sometimes be true, and does not deserve a T (the coach is entitled, up to a point, to voice his opinion of a possibly bad call).

BTW, I agree with Mick that the coach's comment was personal.

He'd been complaining a bunch already, from my read of the OP. Fits with prolonged as well, IMO. My threshold goes down if I'm working by myself.

My threshold stays the same, but I have half the ref's to hear it so I reach it twice as quickly.

Perhaps, but I never issue a T for "prolonged" until after I've told the coach "that's enough." I did not see that in the OP.

I agree with a shorter leash for solo games.
