Sacramento Kings Coach Mike Brown Fined $50,000 by NBA for Confrontation with Referee

The coach of the Sacramento Kings, Mike Brown, lost his temper in last Monday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks. That is why the NBA has decided to fine the coach with $50,000 because of the reaction after the arbitration controversy.

Brown showed his anger in public at the beginning of the last quarter and went after the referee Intae Hwang. The players had to restrain him so that the reaction did not get worse and thus avoid greater harm. The coach was ejected for “accidentally colliding with Bucks forward Pat Connaughton and yelling at the referee.”

Likewise, in the press conference after the meeting, Mike Brown again showed his indignation by showing on your laptop the actions in which he believed the referees had made a mistake. “I’m going to show you why I was expelled,” he began his speech at a press conference that surprised all the journalists present.

For this reason, the NBA’s head of basketball operations, Joe Dumarshas decided to fine the Sacramento Kings coach for “aggressively pursuing a referee with the match on the line and, in addition, publicly criticizing the referees.”

Mike Brown is ironic after learning of the NBA sanction

However, Mike Brown was ironic about the sanction imposed on him by the league and caused laughter among the journalists present. “I’m still a little confused, but I’m fine now. I wanted to illustrate a point and I did. Now it’s time to move on,” he assumed.

The technician, laughing, stated that he had to cancel vacation plans with your family after the fine, since it could affect his rest before the All-Star. “The fine is what it is. My partner is upset with me. The best place to go skiing, if you’re going to ski in Lake Tahoe, is the Ritz-Carlton. I was going to take my grandson skiing there, but I called (the my wife) and I told him we probably won’t be able to do it today unless the Ritz Carlton gives me a discount,” he said.

A little over a year ago, Mike Brown experienced a similar chapter. The coach of the Sacramento Kings, in December 2022, was also fined by the NBA with $25,000 for having insulted one of the referees and for “aggressively pursuing and directing profane language toward a game official.”
