Dillon Brooks isn’t the only player under fire for his antics during Sunday’s 128-119 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Ime Udoka, the head coach of the Houston Rockets, is currently facing consequences for his conduct in the last minute of the match that resulted in the second-year NBA player being ejected from the game.
In the last moments of Sunday’s fight, Dillon Brooks challenged a flopping violation, which set off everything. That may have contributed to the high level of emotion between Brooks and the Rockets at the time, as the game was essentially out of the Rockets’ grasp.
Brooks went on a profanity-laced tirade against the game official as he questioned the call, which prompted a quick ejection for the enigmatic Rockets forward. After seeing his player get tossed, Udoka decided to join in on the action by verbally attacking the referee as well.
The NBA has decided to slap Brooks with a hefty $35,000 fine for his antics. As it turns out, the league isn’t letting Udoka get away scot-free either. The Rockets coach will now need to pay a $25,000 fine for “directing inappropriate language toward a game official,” per a statement by NBA Communications.
Udoka is one of the highest-paid coaches in the league today with a reported contract worth $28.5 million for four years. Nevertheless, $25K is still $25K
