What Happened
The UCLA coach ejected one of his own players from the game while his team was losing by 27 points. The player had acted aggressively towards an opposing player, and the coach disciplined him, saying "You're not going to the bench, dude. You're going to the locker room. Get out of here." After the incident, the coach had a testy exchange with a reporter who asked about the crowd's reaction.
