Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr was ejected in the fourth quarter against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night.
A furious Kerr was subjected to back-to-back technical fouls, prompting an automatic ejection, after appearing upset that the Clippers’ John Collins was not called for goaltending.
The 60-year-old coach was yelling as he crossed the halfway line onto the sideline to chase the referees, with an assistant and players Gary Payton II and Gio Santos holding him back.

The real magic, however, happened on the mic, as Snoop Dogg was on the call for the moment, providing stunning color commentary.
“Uh oh! Steve is going to be expelled!” said the “Gin and Juice” rapper. “Get him out of there! Get him out of there! Back him up! Steve back to Inglewood right now! Inglewood!” Snoop continued. “The Arizona Wildcat is out. Look at him.”
Snoop Dogg was calling the game, which was played in his hometown of Los Angeles at the new Intuit Dome – Snoop is from Long Beach.
NBC previously announced a two-hour special, “Snoop Dogg’s New Year’s Eve,” to air live from Miami on Dec. 31, but the rapper said it would no longer happen. (Photos by James Wiltshire/AFL via Getty Images)

This isn’t 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 vs. Nate Robinson.
Kerr’s ejection came two nights after Draymond Green was ejected for the 24th time in his career — Kerr’s ejection was his seventh.

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