It’s not uncommon for NBA coaches to get ejected during a game. To see them dispute an ejection by analyzing plays on a laptop in the postgame media session is a much rarer sight.
Sacramento Kings coach Mike Brown may have been the first coach to do so after his team’s 143—142 overtime loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday.
Brown turned a standard postgame press conference into a five-minute film session for the reporters in attendance, breaking down multiple clips from the game to dispute his ejection. The second-year Kings coach was thrown out early in the fourth quarter after a fiery confrontation with a referee over a no-call during which he had to be restrained by his own players.
