Here's the official statement (courtesy WEEI.com):
Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers has been fined $25,000 for his
conduct surrounding his ejection on Monday, January 11, it was
announced today by Stu Jackson, Executive Vice President, Basketball
Operations. The incident occurred with 6:16 remaining in the third
quarter of Boston's 102-96 loss to the Atlanta Hawks at TD Garden in
Boston.
Is it standard operating procedure for a coach to be fined $25K for an ejection?
If it's not, I don't understand the issue with his conduct. Doc was blasted with two techs in the span of 2 seconds. The referees didn't give him time to really get worked up. Plus he exited the court in a timely manner.
