David Fizdale's epic post-game rant came, unsurprisingly, with a price tag: $30,000.
The Memphis Grizzlies coach blasted the officials after his team lost 96-82 to the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night in San Antonio. On Wednesday, the NBA levied the fine against him.
Asked about the $30,000 penalty, Fizdale replied: "That's what they chose to do."
Fizdale said he has gotten a lot of community support since his outburst; and, if he has created a catch-phrase, he's fine with that. Fizdale finished his tirade by slamming his fist on a table and yelling, "Take that for data," before storming out.
