CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Utah Jazz head coach Quin Snyder was ejected during the fourth quarter of his team’s game against the Charlotte Hornets.
Snyder’s ejection came with 6:44 seconds remaining in the game between the Jazz and Hornets on Saturday, December 21.
The Jazz head coach was furious after the officials didn’t blow the whistle on potential foul by Charlotte on Utah forward Joe Ingles. The no-call led to a fast-break bucket by the Hornets.
