Chris Paul the latest player to call out NBA ref

Tensions between NBA players and officials have reached a boiling point this season with a meeting planned between the NBPA and the National Basketball Referees Association for All-Star weekend to work out their differences.

In the meantime, NBA stars are still voicing their disapproval of the league's officiating. Chris Paul became the latest player to publicly blast an official when he called out referee Scott Foster after getting a questionable technical foul in Wednesday night's game.

Paul said:

"I got a tech tonight. I'm over there with (referee Courtney Kirkland) saying 'That's Scott, that's Scott' - and I get a tech. But that's history there. So, Scott, you the man. That's who they pay to see."

With star players like LeBron James and Anthony Davis both getting their first-career ejections this season, the officials have been under a microscope. The All-Star break meeting hopes to work out those differences, but right now, that rocky relationship doesn't appear to be changing.
