In my rulebook this is a technical foul.
I am a little confused about other rulebooks here that don't interpret this as a technical foul, please feel free to enlighten me...or explain what part of "these refs suck" is not grounds for a technical foul. It's not funny, it's not something friends say to each other, at best it's a very sarcastic comment towards an official a player has become too familiar with...and you know what familiarity breeds!
