Memphis Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins has been harshly punished by the NBA with a fine of $25,000 for his statements and criticism of the referees after Friday’s game in which his team was defeated by the Utah Jazz by a score of 121. -127.
It took less than 48 hours for the league to demonstrate that it had zero tolerance for questions from members of any team, in this case, a coach, who issued slightly off-color statements.

And, after concluding the aforementioned match, Jenkins seemed quite upset at the press conference, describing the work of the referees as “fucking atrocious.” “It is one of the worst refereed games I have ever seen. Record this, I have no problem: it was fucking atrocious,” he expressed.
The main reason for the coach’s criticism was the wide difference in free throws, since the Grizzlies had 13 while the Jazz received 29, something that bothered the coach because he considers that his team is playing at the highest level.
But there was another decision by the refereeing body that caused great discomfort to Taylor Jenkins, the expulsion of his coach Jaren Jackson Jr., who has just been the best defensive player in the NBA last season.
