Is it standard operating procedure for a coach to be fined $25K for an ejection?
If it's not, I don't understand the issue with his conduct. Doc was blasted with two techs in the span of 2 seconds. The referees didn't give him time to really get worked up. Plus he exited the court in a timely manner.
