Trent Johnson Gets Ejected For Acting Like Trent Johnson

You probably are all aware of the close call game Stanford survived yesterday. It basically came down to a last second Brook Lopez shot to seal the game away. You also are probably aware of the rejection Trent Johnson received just before the close of the 1st half. Basically, he was kicked out of the game after he walked onto the floor during a call by the ref. Storming mad onto the court, he began to yell his case, then bam, ejection thrown! You got served, bitch.

As Johnson walked off the court into the locker room, he glared at the officials, and by glared, I mean he remembered what the refs looked like so he could test out his new truck tires’ traction on their faces. That's not a joke either. Johnson really is a scary looking dude.

I'm kind of surprised he got the ejection though, because Johnson pulls this kind of shit year round. Actually, if you watch Stanford play throughout the year, it's pretty much a normal thing to see Johnson yelling and stalking the refs like a madman. I was kind of confused at first why he was getting thrown out. It wasn't until they explained the situation I realized, "Oh, that's illegal?" Whoops. Thanks for ruining my understanding of the rules, Trent.

This is also where my "Trent Johnson: Most Murderous Looking Coach" honor was created. When Trent comes charging onto the floor, it really looks like he wants to kill the zebras. Throughout the day, I thought that the refs didn't kick out Trent for breaking rules, but they kicked him out for their own protection. They were probably fearful that he was going to walk up and rip out their pancreas on national television (that would have been pretty sweet though).

It seems that Trent calmed down though as he stated: "The bottom line was, the responsibility was on me, and I was out of line. Just leave it at that if you would, please."

This translates to me as "It was my fault.... that I didn't kick the ref's testes in. And reporters, if you ask me about this again, I will kill all of you, even you Stewart Mandell."

Fortunately for us, the Cardinal prevailed, thus allowing another potential Trent Johnson meltdown to happen. I really want to see a coach choke out an official. Jim Nantz would shit his pants.
