Against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday, Sacramento Kings head coach Luke Walton furiously protested at the referees after seemingly missing a call.

The officials, however, weren’t having any of it and ejected Walton.

As seen in the clip below, Walton did not waste any time protesting to the referees. Walton was so angry that he even pushed one of his players away. The referees quickly slapped him with two consecutive technical fouls for his antics.

Walton was apparently protesting over a no-call on Cory Joseph.

It is worth noting that this is Walton’s first ejection as the coach of the Kings.

In his first year as the Kings head coach, Walton has guided the team to a 26-34 record for 10th in the West. They entered the game with a two-game winning streak, having won seven of the last 10 games.

Luke Walton was hired over the summer with the task of completing the long and arduous rebuilding process for the Kings. Last season, the young basketball club finished ninth in the West with a 39-43 record. Analysts have commended Walton for keeping the team in the playoff race amid their slow start, but various injuries and inconsistent performances have hampered their season so far.
