"That was not an ideal scenario, because we were playing bad and kind of melting down a bit," Huskies coach Dan Hurley said. "He got tossed. I didn’t really see what happened. And then I saw him again somewhere near the student section."
Bouknight was reportedly ejected for standing on the court with his cellphone.

I don’t want to speak too much about it. I love seeing Bouknight back, I loved playing with him. He’s a great player."
