Does a referee have the power to end a game?

my social team can't buy a call no matter where we play, we are also the guys mocking the refs all game, go figure

To both Anon posts above:

I understand where you are both coming from on your comments and respect that, but both answers have their own ignorance to them.

If you've watched Basketball games, or participated in a Basketball game (I'm assuming being a ref requires some expose to either), then you'd be ignorant to assume that abuse isn't going to happen.

Sales jobs, Helpdesk jobs, call centers: these are example jobs where you are told upfront before taking the job that you can expect some customers to be angry and abusive and you're taught how to handle it. I'd suspect that referees aren't offered that level of support before choosing that career path, but they should. I've been a basketball fan for 20 years and I've known the whole time that refs cop flak during games, so naturally if I wanted to be a BBall Ref, I know what I'd be jumping in to.

In Pwned's instance, calling the game off was just stupid. Those sorts of lines warrant additional tech fouls and nothing more.

If it's in a social league game where you don't always have a coach; I'd be telling that players team to calm their player down and send him away. If the team fails or chooses NOT to act in order to keep the game going, then I'd be calling the game off.

The referee can only call the game off once Chuck Norris has approved this action.

The Refs can certainly call a game off. I find it rather hilarious in the instance that ONE player caused the game to be cancelled.

If the abuse can from a group of players or a fight, I could certainly understand.

But honestly to that ref; grow some balls and keep the game going. The tech fouls were the smart idea to combat it. If the guy keeps going off, tell his coach to rope him in or keep serving tech fouls until the guy leaves or the coach stops him.

If your mate keeps going off like that, you need to bench him for the next few games or tell him not to turn up until the attitude changes.
