• Steve Kerr was ejected from a Golden State Warriors preseason game on Monday for arguing with the referees.
  • As he left the court, he waved goodbye and yelled, “I didn’t wanna be here anyway.”
  • Kerr said after the game that he was trying to get ejected to prove a point to his team.

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr on Monday lost his temper and got thrown out of a preseason game, but he didn’t seem too upset about it.

The incident came early in the second half when Stephen Curry got a technical foul for arguing with the referees. Kerr then exploded on the sideline, running onto the floor to argue with the ref. After a few words, he was ejected.

As Kerr left the game, he waved vigorously, yelling, “I didn’t wanna be here anyway.”

After the game, Kerr said he was trying to make a point by getting ejected because the Warriors were picking up fouls.

"I was trying to make a point and I was trying to back up my guys. We had all these offensive fouls, one after another. And I finally had enough ... I was in the wrong, obviously. I got what I deserved."

Of course, other coaches have tried to get ejected, too, for one reason or another. Doc Rivers once admitted to trying to get ejected from a meaningless, end-of-season Boston Celtics game so he could watch Tiger Woods. Unfortunately, for him, the referees had caught on.
