re: Raptors Amir Johnson ejected for wanting to rub the ball

Slackhouse is either trolling or he really is pissed off that the referee didn't run away like a scared child to the scorer's table to call the foul, thus ensuring that the players have no respect for him and allowing the game to get out of control, which ultimately only hurts the players (figuratively and sometimes literally).

if he ejects the player, how does the game get out of control?

My guess is the latter, because he's had an official that he felt he was treated badly by and can sympathize with the player wanting to take a swing at him because he wanted to do the same. With that kind of attitude toward authority, my guess is you've had some issues with this that have negatively affected your career/life because you're not intellectually capable of understanding the reason for an authority figure's actions.

Maybe a novice in pushing drugs on doctors in a clinic or an insurance salesman--or one of those prior to getting axed for being a dumbass towards his boss for what he thought was unfair treatment?

Don't answer that, because I'm sure you'll just lie and talk about how you're an investment banker with a fleet of Ferrari's like every other OT'er around here.

I have a job in the Information Technology field. I've never been fired for a job, and never shown any boss disrespect. I've also never been treated unfairly because I'm not an a-hole.

I just think it is retarded for referees to have exaggerated actions. It does absolutely nothing. It gives them no further authority over the players. It doesn't help keep the game out of control. Technical fouls, ejecting a player, and coaches/teammates/security personnel keep the game from getting out of control.

Again, it is the referees job to call the game. He's already been given that authority. There is zero reason for them to act in this manner. Well, except for pride.
