Additionally: Doc Rivers got tossed out 25 seconds (game time) after his son
You know how when parents are about to have their first child they’re really excited for the endless possibilities of happiness that it will bring to their lives? Then after a couple years they’re always on edge and miserable? That describes Doc Rivers’ attempt at coaching his son to a tee.
His life was going pretty good. He had a successful basketball career as a player, ended a nearly 20 year championship drought for the Celtics as a coach, then decided to bring his kid onto his new team and rule the NBA in the ultimate father-son duo. Now after coaching his kid for only 2 years, the man is falling apart. It was only a month ago that he tried to murder a referee, now this happens.

There’s never a good reason to touch a referee. The only thing that comes from it is, you get ejected from the game, fined, and look like an asshole to everyone else in the league. Doc knows how stupid it is. He knows how stupid the product of his long past orgasm was when he touched this ref. Getting himself thrown out over the same play is just as stupid.
Like any parent, if Doc has any chance of surviving this life destroying experience, he needs to put Austin in the bath tub and forget about him for a little while. However, seeing as Austin is an adult and looks like he might be able to swim, cutting him from the team might be a more effective way of dealing with this nasty little situation that Doc got himself into.
Austin is more of a disappointment to his parents than Malia Obama.
