Coach collapses onto court and receives a technical foul

We know officials and coaches sometimes don’t get along, but this is ridiculous.

Conference USA said Monday that officials “exercised poor judgment” when they upheld a technical foul on Houston coach Tom Penders after he collapsed during a game against UAB last Saturday.

Penders, a former Texas coach, passed out on the sideline late in the first half of Houston’s 82-79 loss and was carried off the court on a stretcher and given oxygen. He returned to coach the second half.
