Crew Chief Ken Mauer

Postgame – Washington Wizards at Dallas Mavericks

NBA Crew Chief Ken Mauer met with pool reporter Saad Yousef of The Athletic after the game between the Wizards and Mavericks tonight. Here is a transcript of that interview.

“Why was Bradley Beal ejected?”

Ken Mauer: “His first technical foul was as a result of a double technical foul for a physical taunt with the opponent, Doncic. They both came together, bumped each other, so my partner calls a double technical foul. Then, Bradley Beal then proceeds to look at that official, and in protest of that call, he waves him off, which is a respect for the game guideline and a technical foul, an automatic technical foul. We’re taught to give a technical foul, so that was his second technical foul. So, it’s the double technical foul for the taunt, second one for the wave off to the referee.”
