Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr was ejected in the fourth quarter against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night.
A furious Kerr was given back-to-back technical fouls, leading to an automatic ejection, after he appeared upset that John Collins of the Clippers was not called for a goaltending play.
The 60-year-old coach yelled as he crossed midfield on the sideline to pursue the umpires, with an assistant and players Gary Payton II and Gio Santos holding him back.

However, the true magic happened on the mic as Snoop Dogg was on the call at the moment and provided tremendous color commentary.
“Uh oh! Steve’s getting kicked out!” the “Gin and Juice” rapper said. “Get him out of there! Get him out of there! Smoke him up! Steve back in Inglewood right now! Inglewood!” Snoop continued. “The Arizona Wildcat came out. Look at him.”
Snoop Dogg called the game, which was played in his hometown of Los Angeles in 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,” scheduled to air live from Miami on Dec. 31, but the rapper said that is no longer happening. (James Wiltshire/AFL Images via Getty Images)

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”, suggesting that Kerr would have criticized the referees, which would have resulted in a fine.
