Question for FIBA officials

One of the things that has amused me during the FIBA World Championships has been the athletes' reactions to calls by officials. It's clear that they want to say something, but they many times are dealing with an official from a different country. It seems like staring is the usual form of comment.

I'm just curious how FIBA officials deal with comments from players who do not share their native tongue. Do you go by the player's tone ("Them sounds like fightin' words to me!"), or is knowledge of international invective one of the job requirements to get these multi-national games?
