Gamecocks Give Frank Martin One Game Suspension

((HT: WLTX-TV))

South Carolina head men's basketball coach Frank Martin has been known to be a little intense on the sidelines...

It has gotten him into trouble and it has gotten him a reputation as a hothead- and a lot worse terms...

He did this Tuesday night in his team's 26-point loss to Florida


Athletics Director Ray Tanner, in a statement, said:

"The one-game suspension is a result of inappropriate verbal communication as it relates to the well-being of our student-athletes."

The HQ would like to know how many times Tanner used inappropriate verbal communications when he coached the baseball team in Columbia, but we'll digress...

Here's Martin's comments on what went down...

Martin will not accompany the team to Starkville for the season finale against Miss State. Associate head coach Matt Figger will serve as the acting coach as South Carolina is 11-19, 4-13 in the SEC.

Jerzy Janowicz goes postal during Australian Open

((HT: Australian Open))

How many TIMES?!?!?!

24th seeded Jerzy Janowicz from Poland did not like the chair umpire's call during his first set tiebreak against India's Somdev Devvarman in the second round of the Australian Open.

Check out the video below:


Wow.

He went totally nuts a-la John McEnroe, spitting on the court, hitting the umpire's chair with his racket, and was even getting supporting chants from the crowd!

No good deed goes unpunished, Janowicz has now been fined $2,500 for unsportsmanlike conduct.

The end of the story? Janowicz ended up defeating Devvarman 6-7 (10-12), 3-6, 6-1, 6-0, 7-5 in 3 hours and 58 minutes.
