Absolutely - I used to referee basketball in Australia, including at a high level.

Extremely high level junior, was generally not an issue. As was true local league.

It was the intermediates, the travel leagues. Where "your kid is good but is still not going to be a pro" (the NBA sends a letter to all new D1 college players congratulating them on the effort they've put in to get this far - and to focus on their education, as the NBA drafts <1% of D1 college players, let alone anybody else). Those were the ones where the parents were convinced that their kid was going to be a pro and the only thing holding him back was "that fucking referee".

We had the power to eject those parents from the venue. Which was usually a conversation that went something like this:

Ref: You need to leave the venue until the end of the game.

Parent: It's my fucking kid's game and I'm not leaving and you can't fucking make me.

Ref: You're right, I can't remove you from the venue. I can however forfeit the game on your child's behalf.

Kid: Daaaad. [usually weary as this tends not to happen just the once]. Go and wait in the car. Pleaseeeee.

Parent: I will go and wait in the car, and we're going to wait and when you come out, you and I are going to fucking get into it, ref.

Cue security, if not police, walking refs to their cars.
