Seriously? A player challenges you on every call; you warn them, give them a technical, or eject them. There are rules in place that allow the referees to handle these situations. But, being overly emotional and making a call in a player's face does nothing to resolve the issue.

He has to establish that it is his job to call the game and theirs to respect his calls. Not agree with them, but respect them.
Has to? I think it is pretty well established in the rule book that the refs call the game. Referees have the ability to give technicals and to eject players. This authority will be respected because they players have no choice. Acting like a jerk when you make a call does nothing to establish more authority or respect. It is already there, in the rules.

It will make those players think twice about throwing a tantrum though. Now big tough NBA star got embarrassed by an old little white guy. Thats why it took him so long to walk after the ref. He knew he was in the wrong right away. But then he thought about his "cred" and had to act like he was going after him. He had no intention of doing anything until his teammates held him back. He's a child with low self esteem and needed to look tough.
