Toronto Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic was ejected from their game against the Memphis Grizzlies after going berserk on a referee over a controversial non-call. Rajakovic, who is currently in his second season with the Raptors, lost his cool during the fourth quarter of their 155-126 defeat to the Grizzlies on Thursday night, with two of his own players even forced to intervene.
Officials chose not to call a foul on a drive by Toronto's Scottie Barnes, only for Memphis to eventually go and score down the other end. And the non-call sparked an astonishing meltdown from Rajakovic, who immediately made a beeline for one of the referees after calling a timeout.
'Call the f***ing foul! Call the f***ing foul!' he could be heard shouting while Barnes and Ochai Agbaji held him back. After being led away from the official, Rajakovic was issued a pair of technical fouls and automatically ejected from the game with the Raptors trailing 125-103.
