Spurs coach Gregg Popovich was ejected early on in his team’s blowout loss to the Pelicans on Friday night. However, before he entered the locker room, the 73-year-old had a fantastic reaction to his dismissal.
The scene broke out less than three minutes into the second quarter with San Antonio already trailing 39–15. After a New Orleans shot clock violation, Popovich began to berate an official, who issued the Spurs coach his first technical foul. The 73-year-old didn’t back down and yelled some more choice words at the referee, earning him an ejection.
After two assistant coaches were finally able to get Popovich away from the official, he started to make his way for the locker room.
