Why anyone would want to officiate this blovated bovines games are beyond me.

At 53 seconds or so on this video, one of the officials walks over to a player (presumably to tell him to keep the water off the court or to tuck in his shirt) and to get his attention, he taps him on the back a couple times. The player responds by swatting the officials hand away.

Anyway, it was a weird situation within a larger situation. A good example of why you should try to avoid contact with the players, even if it's intended as harmless.

Wtf, from that angle it looks like the ref grabs/pats the players butt. What a dumazz, don't touch players.

....

The official in question is from China, where apparently it is customary for such contact with a player. And the kid got T'd for this by another official, it's just not noticeable on the video.
