So in a rec league a few years ago I pissed off this ref... we used to joke around and one night he wasn’t in on the joke (he had been drinking, so not sure he was all there). So the next game he ref’d for me he declared right before the tip to the other ref and the other team that I wasnt getting any calls tonight and that he was dead serious. I got absolutely murdered all night... no calls... on one I was literally tackled on a layup... ball came off the rim... all ten guys stopped... ball bounced and sat on the floor for a few seconds and the ref yelled “I didn’t call nothing”. I checked myself out of the game and sat the rest of the night.
Later the guy was fired for fighting with one of the score keepers and another player.
Moral of the story... don’t piss off the refs.
