VIDEO: Calipari ejected for yelling at official 2 minutes into game

Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports

John Calipari's game day Saturday lasted less than three minutes.

The Kentucky head coach was given a technical foul for jawing at officials after a rebounding scrum. Then, while guard Jamal Murray held him back, Calipari was T'd up again, causing his ejection from the game.

A playing at South Carolina bi-annual tradition for @ukcoachcalipari getting tossed from the game. #kentuckybasketball #bbn 😒😒😒

Calipari's outburst was peculiar considering the foul was on South Carolina, but the Wildcats had no trouble handling the Gamecocks minus their coach, winning 89-62.
