Good refs control that. If he's that bad, especially in a huge game, a pen or two will control it. Funny I literally have NEVER heard anyone say this about Ambroson.............
I will leave this here, just in case:

Respectful Communication Between Coaches and Game Officials
If the primary mission of high school football was to win state championships then, by design, 99 percent of all teams would
never fulfill the goal. If winning games was the primary goal then, for sure, 50 percent of teams would never be fulfilling the goal. All
NFHS sports rules books include a “Mission Statement” (Appendix A in the NFHS Football Rules Book) that clearly states the
primary goals as promoting “leadership, respect, integrity and sportsmanship.” To that end, coaches and game officials should always
be communicating with each other in a manner that models such behaviors for the student-athletes. Guidelines to model such Page 92
communication is always included as Appendix F (for Coaches) and Appendix G (for Officials) in the NFHS Football Rules Book.
NFHS Football Rule 9-8-1 states that it is unsportsmanlike conduct and thereby clearly illegal for any non-player (coach) to “attempt
to influence a decision by a game official
l” s
uch as screaming for holding by a defensive coach over and over, or consistently asking for a pass interference call by an
offensive coach. The rule further defines that it is unsportsmanlike conduct to “indicate an objection to a game official’s decision.”
While it is likely not appropriate to be calling such a foul unless it is an extreme case, game officials and coaches need to keep in mind
that young student-athletes are watching their every move. If a coach disagrees with a decision, he or she should be requesting a
“conference time-out” and respectfully presenting his or her case. Note that this procedure calls for both coach and game officials to
discuss any disagreement specifically “in front of the team bench” (as a learning opportunity for players to see how adults respectfully
speak with other adults) as opposed to some secret screaming session in the middle of the field. If they are not sure enough about their
position to risk a time-out, then they need to abide by NFHS Football Rule 9-8-1
