It's legal to score a goal by kicking it in, but there could have been other reasons it was disallowed (e.g., in the crease).

Did he kick an opponent's crosse at the same time? Did he step in the crease? Did he kick the GK?
Purely kicking it in is a goal. You can hit it in with any part of your body or crosse EXCEPT your hand and it will be counted, assuming you do not violate the crease or other rules, (e.g. GK interference). How did the official restart play after disallowing the goal? Where did he award the ball to the opposing team, lateral to the goal or at the center line?

Well, this is the danger of trying to learn the rules by playing the game, since there are some officials who don't know the rules, either because they're just starting or because they don't care enough to study them. The fact that he just did what a coach told him is indicative of the fact that he's probably clueless, since the coaches usally don't know much about the rules.
Also, the free clear makes no sense; if the goal is disallowed, it should be awarded to the defense outside the box.

It sounds like the ref sucked because he didn't/doesn't know the rules. I would not try to equate the number of penalties to the quality of a ref though!!!
