Ok I checked first and no sports fan here commented on this incident? We all know most Refs suck but this clown with the stone face should be tossed. When this incident first happened the Announcer said the Ref asked security to toss the fan. Today's poorly written Yahoo Sports article say they relocated the fan.

Do any of you think this Ref should get reprimanded in some way? Guess what would happen if a fan threw a ball at a Ref first. The fan tossed the ball back gently. It's not like he threw it with everything he had. This was one of the worst officiated games I ever saw and I am a life long basketball fan. Even all 3 Announcers agree this game was poorly officiated.

I'm surprised the ref has not been penalized yet

The NBA needs some new blood in there, seeing old man Bavetta run around and his theatrics when making a call annoys the heck out of me, and unfortunately, he's not the only one that pulls that crap.

The thing that frustrates me the most is the amount of assumptions, like in that Game 6 of the Cavs/Celtics series, Rondo falls down in the back-court, Lebron did not even lay a finger on him (replays clearly showed it) and they called a foul, and then a few plays later, Allen dunked on a fast break, Mo Williams tried to challenge, and again, did not touch him, yet Allen got a and 1. Most of the time things seem to even themselves out - they'll make a bad call against the opponent a minute later - but, when things stick out, that's not good.

Fail Mary, Tuck Rule, the Bottlegate Game, the 2009 Phillies-Marlins game of course. I'm glad the replacement officials are gone.

Frankly (other than the NFL replacement officials), NFL refs have been making bad calls.
