The NBA has slapped fines on Houston Rockets player Dillon Brooks and head coach Ime Udoka for publicly criticizing referees and using inappropriate language after they were both ejected from a game. Brooks has been ordered to pay $35,000, while Udoka, who had previously been ejected for a confrontation with LeBron James, was fined $25,000. The league stated that the two had directed inappropriate language towards a game official and publicly criticized the officiating. The incident occurred towards the end of a game against the Milwaukee Bucks, when Brooks and Khris Middleton were arguing a flopping call. Brooks believed that the referees missed a call and instead labeled it as a flop. He expressed his frustration, stating that he was trying to protect himself and that the referee should not be officiating their games. Brooks has accumulated nine technical fouls this season, making him the player with the most technicals in the NBA. The league's decision to fine them comes as a response to their behavior and language towards the officials. It is important for players and coaches to maintain sportsmanship and respect during games, even when they disagree with the officials' calls.
