Steve Kerr puzzled by Draymond Green's ejection vs. Cavaliers

Following the loss, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was asked about Draymond Green being ejected. His biggest issue with the situation was Green being called for technical fouls long after the play passed.

Looking at the video, it's clear Donovan Mitchell was rection to something Green had done on the other end of the floor. The officials ended up reviewing the recent plays, which led to Green getting ejected. Getting called for techincal fouls long after the fact is something Kerr has never seen before in his long NBA career.

"I had never heard this rule, but apparently you can retroactively call a technical from two plays before upon review," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. "There's a lot of plays I'd like to go back to from three years ago. It was bizarre."

Getting ejected or suspended from games due to technical fouls is nothing new to Green, as it's happened on multiple occasions throughout his career. The most notable being in the NBA Finals after he kicked LeBron James in the groin. Green is an extremely passionate and in-your-face player. That said, there are certain instances where this ends up backfiring on him and the Warriors.

Sunday marked the 17th time in Green's career that he's been ejected during the playoffs or regular season. The Warriors All-Star also has the most ejections among all current players.
