While I was watching a summer league game a couple of years ago, the crowd (small crowd, 40-50 people) was complaining about some call that was part of a recent rule change. At the next break the referee stopped for a few seconds, explained the rule change to the crowd, then asked, with a smile, "How many of you learned something today?" Everyone laughed and gave him a round of applause.
Also at the Duke-GT game, did you see the referee call a ball out-of-bounds off a GT player, and indicate it went off the GT player's head? Immediately after that, the Cameron Crazies broke out with an "off your head, off your head" chant.
