Mystics HC gets ejected vs. Dream after an all-time outburst

It has not been a great Saturday night for the Washington Mystics, especially for their head coach, Sydney Johnson.

With his team trailing the Atlanta Dream by 21 points in the third quarter of a game at Gateway Center in College Park, Ga., Johnson suddenly erupted at a game official. 

It was not clear what exactly set off Johnson, but it likely had to do with how he saw the game being officiated. His outburst followed a foul call on Mystics guard Alicia Florez Getino after the rookie challenged Dream star forward Angel Reese’s lay-up attempt.

Johnson had to be held back by Washington coaches and players during his wild crash-out that ultimately led to his ejection. Still fuming, the 52-year-old head coach was escorted off the court by security after receiving two consecutive technical fouls.

Here is a video of that heated moment.
