Texas Tech Coach Chris Beard Sits on Floor In Protest, Earns Ejection

There are many ways for a coach to show his displeasure when they’re unhappy with refs. You can yell, scream, but you don’t too often see a coach sit on the floor in protest. That’s exactly what Texas Tech Coach Chris Beard did after having quite a meltdown. And he didn’t even have his mask on.

After the game, Beard said he was defending his players with his outburst.

“There was no message there,” Beard said. “I just thought that from a coaching standpoint, you gotta fight for your players. Obviously college basketball, you guys know the drill, Big 12 policy and all that, but I would just say from my point of view, the West Virginia player was calling for a timeout on the floor. I could see it and hear it where I was standing. It’s still a two possession game at that point. If that call is made, then we’ve got a chance to set up our press and still have a chance to play the game. That call sent a 90% free throw shooter to the line and it’s gonna separate the game to a three possession game.”

At least he got a fist bump before he had to hit the showers.
