Even if it was out of frustration, that's just ridiculous.
The kid already had so much pressure to do well... of course she is feeling terrible for making a mistake, does the coach really think cussing at her is going to make her feel better? If anything, wouldn't she need her coach's support the most out of anyone?
This coach needs to find some empathy, and fast.

...Frustrated or not, the coach is still a role model, and should be, among other things, modeling how to behave in a stressful/frustrating situation...
