imho, the 2 seconds it takes to appease the player is A HELL OF A LOT BETTER than having a confrontation that leads to ejection.....

let him touch/rub the ball! Other than an officials' ego: "i'm the boss; it's my ball and i'm always right"...what's the big deal?

It has nothing to do with "i'm the boss", it has to do with a player disrespecting an official and physically engaging the official.

The confrontation was 100% on the player. Guess you cater to every spoiled child and player you come across.
