Regardless of how a player behaves, I do not ref any differently towards him/her. That being said, you may receive a technical foul from me if you are "arguing." Generally, I will listen to a player who politely and sincerely asks me about a call if there is sufficient time to do so during a dead ball. Once I give my explanation, I don't tolerate any further discussion because it will get us nowhere. If a player starts making a habit of questioning calls, then they lose credibility and I quit listenind and/or give a "T" depending on the player's actions and words. Some referees will only listen to the team captain and that is within their right to ignore all other players.
The best course of action for you to take is to just concentrate on playing and ignore the things (calls) that are out of your control. Energy that you are giving to missed calls is wasted energy that could have been used in the game
