Since most FIRST referees are composed of volunteers, often from FIST teams I do not think they would want to be on the side of rude, unreasonable behavior so it's not as likely to happen but they are human and not everyone thinks or acts the same.
My first year in FIRST down at the championship down in Orlando in 2002 the refs at the central field (I forgot the name of the field) just were on a disquakifying spree and when we had a contest there we went to the central veiwing area and the ref there snapped at me and said "If your team doesn't sit down right now, I'm disqualifying your team!". I was taken aback by that. Perhaps he had said something before and I didn't hear him but jeez was that harsh.
