During the Mavericks/Thunder game last night, Mavs coach Rick Carlisle was unhappy with a call. And to show his unhappiness, he decided to take a basketball and kick it just before a timeout. That turned out to be a poor decision. The ball sailed on him, flew into the stands, and hit some poor girl right in the face. He tried to apologize, but...yeah, you're not allowed to do that during a game, Coach. This is basketball, not soccer. So he got hit with a technical, his second of the game, and was forced to leave the floor. Hey, Rick: Do us a favor and save the David Beckham impressions for the soccer field, mmkay?
