In case you couldn’t tell from the photo above, Wisconsin Herd head coach Chase Buford had a bad night on Sunday.

Buford’s squad (the G-League affiliate for the Bucks) imploded at home against the Grand Rapids Drive, blowing a 21-point fourth-quarter lead to lose 126–117. The Herd were outscored 48–20 in the final period, hence Buford’s Adam Gase-like look.

Addressing reporters after the game, Buford vented his frustrations with his team’s play but didn’t lay all the blame at his players’ feet. He also took issue with how the game was officiated, even going as far as to single out a specific ref as a “f---ing clown.
