contents Recently, the detection of a coherent radio flash associated with short-duration GRB 201006A, occurring 76.6 minutes after the burst, has attracted great attention. However, the physical origin of the coherent radio flash remains under debate. By reanalyzing its data observed by Fermi and Swift, we find that an early radio afterglow as the physical origin of the radio flash can be ruled out, but the coherent radio emission seems to be consistent with the hypothesis of a supramassive magnetar as the central engine collapsing into a black hole. Within this scenario, the derived magnetar surface magnetic field ($B_{\rm p}$) and the initial spin period ($P_{\rm 0}$) fall into a reasonable range but require a preferable low value of $η_{\rm R} = 10^{-7}$ or $10^{-6}$. Moreover, the calculated low-$\varepsilon$ value and $E_{\rm γ,iso}-E_{\rm p}$ correlation of GRB 201006A also supports the progenitor which is from the merger of compact stars. We also discuss the non-detected kilonova emission associated with GRB 201006A, and then compare with its upper limits of optical observations.
