Conference USA officials are reviewing an outburst by first-year UTEP coach Tim Floyd that got him tossed out of his team’s loss at East Carolina on Wednesday night.
The league confirmed the review Thursday as the team was returning to El Paso, Texas.
The Miners (20-8, 8-5 CUSA) were whistled for 27 fouls and five technicals in the 83-76 loss to East Carolina. The Pirates (14-13, 6-7) went 35-for-45 from the free-throw line.
Floyd and assistant coach Phil Johnson both received two technicals and were ejected with 18:48 left in the game. Floyd marched onto the court to scream at the official who gave it to him. Eventually a police officer intervened and led Floyd off the court.
The video is already making the rounds on YouTube.
