Hard throws and complaining about calls?

I am looking for feedback on the following two scenarios:
1.) Partner calls foul, on switch you ask for ball and players on whom foul was called throws you the ball hard in anger.
2.) Players on one team constantly express displeasure with calls by both refs by both words and actions.

wm,
I have found it easy to defuse such players by walking up to him, even if the game is waiting on me, and saying something like, "You are way to good an athlete to act like that."
That is their "warning", whether they know it, or not; and I have never had to go back to them with a technical foul.
