Don't blow the whistle near Carmelo Anthony's ears, ref

Carmelo Anthony ended up getting a technical foul for having sensitive hearing.

Carmelo Anthony was all set to inbound the ball and AHHHHHH JEEEZ I'M STANDING RIGHT HERE

To be completely honest, Ken Mauer wasn't *that* close to his ear when he blew the whistle here, but apparently Melo wasn't expecting it and voiced his opinions. Mauer was nice enough not to start counting his five seconds until Melo picked up the ball again, but not nice enough to let this go completely -- he called a technical foul on Anthony the next trip down the floor, presumably because of Anthony's continued displeasure about the whistle.
