Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr was ejected in the fourth quarter against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night.
A furious Kerr received consecutive technical fouls, leading to an automatic ejection, after he appeared upset that the Clippers’ John Collins was not penalized as a goalie.
The 60-year-old coach shouted as he crossed the center line of the court to chase the referees, while an assistant and players Gary Payton II and Gio Santos held him down.

The real magic, however, happened on the microphone, as Snoop Dogg was on the call at the time, providing wildly colorful commentary.
“Uh oh! Steve’s going to get expelled!” said the “Gin and Juice” rapper. “Get him out of there! Get him out of there! Support him! Steve goes back to Inglewood right now! Inglewood!” Snoop continued. “The Arizona Wildcat is out. Look at it.”
Snoop Dogg called the game, which was played in his hometown of Los Angeles at the new Intuit Dome; Snoop is originally from Long Beach.
NBC had previously announced a two-hour special, “Snoop Dogg’s New Year’s Eve,” that was scheduled to air live from Miami on Dec. 31, but the rapper said it will no longer happen. (Photos by James Wiltshire/AFL via Getty Images)

This is not the first time Snoop Dogg has provided sports commentary, as he was also on the call for Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr.’s exhibition fight in 2020. The undercard for that event featured Jake Paul against Nate Robinson.
Kerr’s ejection came two nights after Draymond Green was ejected for the 24th time in his career; Kerr’s expulsion was the seventh.

Assistant coach Terry Stotts joked in a post-match press conference that he replaced Kerr on the podium “because I’m saving Steve some money”, insinuating that Kerr would have criticized the referees, which would have resulted in a fine.
