I hope the coach didn't hear this

Very unprofessional remark, especially on the floor. You can say it in the confines of the locker room for all I care. There was a time we had an oversized women's coach (sounds almost like the same guy in the OP...) here at the college I teach at, who got T'd up when he showed displeasure at a call, and jumped up and down a couple of times, with his momentum carrying him about a foot onto the floor. I was able to join the officials in the locker room after the game, because I knew all three of them, and the one who T'd up the coach said he could feel the ground shaking. Oh boy.

Agreed, extremely unprofessional and poor form.

If you remember the Alaska incident, where the locker room was bugged, even the locker room isn't a safe place to say anything inappropriate. JMO.

Exactly what I was thinking. Unprofessional that the guy said this.

Whatever the coach said could not have been as bad as what HE said.

I can tell you from experience that the locker room is not a safe haven. Any public place is not safe for you to say things that will come back to haunt you. We are expected to be professional at all times.
