UConn Head Coach Dan Hurley Was Ejected for Pumping Up the Crowd After Receiving a Technical Foul

No I'm not kidding...

UConn head coach Dan Hurley was tossed in the first half of what ended up being a 71-69 UConn win over Villanova for pumping up the crowd.  This move came after he received a technical foul for banging his hands on the scorer's table following a no-call on what he thought was a foul.

You can't make this up.  Here's the first technical foul.

So it turns out you're not allowed to pump the crowd up if you've just been given a technical foul.  I'm not sure what page of the rulebook that is written on, but okay.

Remember kids, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
