NBA: How much will refs take off of NBA petulant children?

[Fabbs]

I like refs, umpires etc who will take a certain amount of venting from pro player and not throw the tech / penalty when they could. To a degree.

At what point in time do these petulant spoiled punks get called out for their actions.
Russell Westbook pouting and throwing the ball at a ref who is not looking. Hits him square in the head.

Westbrook will claim it was unintentional. Maybe it was. Maybe it wasn't.
Regardless, what do you do other then the tech.
Stern Jr. is a complete sell out, we know whatever he does it will be cow patty.

I'd suspend him for 5 games. Set a precedent. Nip this chit in the bud.
