DID UK player (#5) give a ref a "pat on the bottom" near end of game?

I was watching game slip away, getting called for flagrant fouls. announcers talking about HOGS being out of control. ON TV was the UK huddle; they are talking, smiling with ref & ref starts to walk away & gets a little pat on his backside by #5 for UK? what was that about? (I don't have copy of game to go watch again, but it's pretty close to end, during time when UK gonna shoot free throws). I don't think i've ever seen that before...

Yes.  I'm guessing the ref felt fortunate that he wasn't going to get his throat slit.

Yes.  I'm guessing the ref felt fortunate that he wasn't going to get his throat slit.

Ahhh...  An alternate explanation.  I like it.  The refs didn't rig the game, they were just in fear for their lives, like cartoonists afraid to depict Mohamed.

Omg I laughed so hard I spit coke all over the floor!
