Thanks everyone for your information and opinions, it is a hypothetical question though.
I'm doing a thesis on Rules and Regulations in Sport, finding information about all sports and codes.
I was not reported nor have I ever been or even played the game of basketball and in my question I state "not basketball related", so the argument/conversation wasn't to do with a game that had just been played or player who had just played.
Very interesting how broad all the rules and regulations are in this game.

Great post UseTaHoop

“Can a referee report you if they are not working”
That might be your first indication.
Refereeing isn’t a “job”, so referees could never be described as “working”.
Unless it’s semi-pro level or above (state league, NBL, SEABL) the refs are there because they love the game, want to give back etc, and maybe earn a bit of pocket money to help pay their canteen and fuel bills at the end of the night.
If you’re playing social ball, remember that’s what it is. Social. Fun. Have a laugh after the game, with opponents and refs.
Everyone involved in social ball should finish the night feeling better after the game than before it (bruises and aches aside if you’re no longer young).
This post seems to be describing people (player and ref) taking things too seriously and not leaving it behind after the game.

yes it was on the way out of a stadium

Was it in a stadium? If so both people would be looked at. If you are the only person getting reported I would be asking for clarification as to why they were not also prosecuted. Maybe check if there is video footage? If not in a stadium shouldn’t be reported I would think.
