While not common, it’s not unprecedented for coaches to try to get ejected as a way to fire their teams up. But Doc Rivers once tried to get ejected for a strange reason. He wanted to see Tiger Woods make a run at Augusta.
The Los Angeles Clippers coach told the story of seeing Tiger making a run at the Masters. Upon seeing this at halftime, the then Boston Celtics coach unhatched an unsuccessful plan to get himself tossed.
Well if Doc gets thrown out tonight, you know why. 😂 pic.twitter.com/fUHjQgadO3

Fortunately for Doc, the Clippers don’t have a scheduled game during the final round of the 2018 Masters. So, he’ll be able to watch any potential charges from Tiger without having to get ejected. Maybe he can even get together and watch with some referees this time.
