Besides the assistant coach angle, there is possibly some credibility to the claim the ref was using racist language at the players.

According to NISD Executive Director of Athletics Stanley Laing, the two players said referee Robert Watts directed racial slurs at them on multiple occasions during the game. They said the first incident came just before the second of four Jay players was ejected. The players accused Watts of using another racial slur shortly after they were ejected for hitting him.

The district is in the process of filing a complaint against Watts for the accusation he used racial slurs. District officials also plan to talk to additional football players in their investigation.

Wow! Just found this out...

To muddle matters even more, one of the players who was ejected was not involved in the play. Officialls incorrectly tossed out senior defensive back Trenton Hobdy instead of Moreno.

So. Was a racist official and bad officiating to blame for this mess getting started?
