Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg is as mild-mannered as they come most night. But after the Bulls fell 104-95 to the Boston Celtics in Game 4 of their playoff series, Hoiberg was unusually heated.
The referees were the target of Hoiberg’s ire, and he will certainly draw a fine for his comments. Hoiberg complained that the officiating crew repeatedly failed to call a dribbling violation on guard Isaiah Thomas.

“When you’re allowed to discontinue your dribble on every possession, [Thomas is] impossible to guard,” Hoiberg said.
