In the early days of the NBA, Mendy Rudolph was working a game in Syracuse. The visiting coach (I don't remember his name, but the team was Ft. Wayne) threatened to pull his team from the court. Mendy told him that if he did, he'd have to personally pay for all the refunds to the fans. According to Mendy, the guy just sat down and shut up after that.
I heard him tell this on an old interview during halftime of an NBA game in about 1964.

If it was a NBA team it was the Ft. Wayne Pistons, before they moved to Detroit.
