Amir Johnson was retarded. But, I will say this. Referees need to be punished for losing their temper in like fashion that players are punished. The ref turning to Johnson's face to throw him out was uncalled for. He was essentially taunting him and is lucky he didn't get punched in the head. He should've walked over to the scorer's table and signaled the technical foul and the dismissal.
Yeah, I don't agree with any of that.
I don't think the ref did anything wrong in that situation.

what is the point of a referee getting in a player's face and throwing their arms in an exaggerated manner in order to expel the player from the game?
By the rules, the referee communicates fouls, technical fouls, and ejections to the scorer's table.
Doing so in the player's face is a show. It is retarded. Just like umpires in baseball making a big display about calling someone out. Just like soccer refs running over and shoving a red card in a players face.
The umpires/referees job is not to show his authority or stand up to a player. His job is to umpire or referee the sport. He can do so without losing his cool because he got offended.
Honest question: Would you be cool with every police officer that gives someone a speeding ticket being a complete jerk to the person? Maybe even jumping out of his police cruiser and making absurd hand motions while writing the ticket?
this is how a ref should handle a technical foul
