Hornets’ Charles Lee ejected after arguing foul call vs. Pistons
The Charlotte Hornets and Detroit Pistons took “physical basketball” to a whole new level on Monday night, and head coach Charles Lee finally reached his breaking point.
In a game that already featured a full-scale brawl and four player ejections, Charles Lee found himself headed to the locker room early after a heated exchange with official John Goble. The ejection put a cap on a chaotic evening at the Spectrum Center, where the Hornets saw their impressive nine-game winning streak snapped in a 110-104 loss.
The drama reached a secondary peak with just under six minutes left in the fourth quarter. Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams was whistled for an offensive foul after colliding with Detroit Pistons big man Paul Reed. Charles Lee, who was recently named the Eastern Conference Coach of the Month for January, absolutely lost it.

He had to be physically restrained by LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, and even Grant Williams himself as he voiced his displeasure. The outburst earned him two quick technicals and his first career ejection as a head coach.
