Gregg Popovich ejected 63 seconds into game against Denver

DENVER (AP) — San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich boiled over just 63 seconds into a game against Denver and was ejected.

An irate Popovich appeared to be upset over a non-foul call Wednesday night and was given a technical by official Mark Ayotte. He kept it up and was handed another from fellow official David Guthrie. Popovich’s team was trailing 5-0 as he made his way to the locker room.

Is this a record??

The last time a coach was ejected within the first 2 minutes of a game was Washington’s Flip Saunders on Jan.
