What kind of feedback are you looking for?

Don’t know what happen before hand but when the video starts he’s in the ref’s face yelling at him. Then he says, “are you a frickin’ Mexican?!?!?” Not only should he be removed from the field he should face a suspension.
 
How would you anticipate the referee’s reaction? The referee dismissed the athletic trainer for time-wasting and banned him from officiating any matches for the club. This is why the altercation happened.

Would you expect the club to take any action? It’s challenging when Sporting rules like a dictatorship. There’s no clear way to remove him, even if you wanted to.

Did the referee have to disclose his personal information? Shouldn’t this responsibility have been handled by the referee assignor or the state association?

Would you expect the league, sanctioning body, or us soccer to take any action? What if the referee filed a SafeSport against him? Is this severe enough to warrant such action?

There is an updated ref abuse policy for 2025 and this coach clearly crossed the line. If reported then yes their should be some disciplinary action.
