VIDEO: Jason Kidd ejected for swatting ball out of official's hands
Milwaukee Bucks head coach Jason Kidd was ejected in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's 129-118 loss to the Sacramento Kings.
Kidd was sent packing by referee Zach Zarba after the former point guard swatted the basketball out of his hands during a disputed call.
Fans at the BMO Harris Bradley Center didn't seem to have a problem with Kidd's actions, though, as the 42-year-old left the court to a standing ovation.
Standing ovation for Coach Kidd from the @BMOHBC faithful as he is ejected from tonight’s game. #Together

Milwaukee dropped to 6-9 on the season, having lost four of their last five.
Kidd said the following about his ejection after the game:

Kidd will likely see some sort of discipline from the NBA for his actions. Atlanta Hawks head coach Mike Budenholzer was recently given a $25,000 slap on the wrist for bumping into an official Saturday against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
