Temper temper....

Sioux Falls starting back court of Frank Williams and David Bailey shot a combined 3-of-22 from the field, but those two were hot under the collar Sunday night.

Both of them were ejected during the Skyforce's loss at Erie.

Just watching it was weird. Kind of like seeing a car accident. You saw it, you know happened, but you're still stunned that it did happen.

Williams got tossed first. It went down like this.

Williams was heated Sunday night.

Williams was tossed with eight minutes and 17 seconds left in the third quarter.

Before being ejected, Williams complained about not getting the call in which Ivan Harris was credited for blocking his shot in the paint.

Sioux Falls called a time out and as Williams was walking towards the Sioux Falls bench, he bumped into referee Kevin Scott.

Without hesitation, Scott immediately called the technical foul and ejected Williams. Now a player is supposed to get two technical fouls before getting tossed, but since Williams bumped into the referee, he got ejected with a quickness.

Crazy right.

Here's more craziness.

Early in the fourth quarter, Bailey was ejected. Now is Bailey like 5-foot-9 on a great day and he really gets knocked around in games, but he's one of those guys that very competitive.

He also can get frustrated. So after getting knocked down on another drive to the rim, Bailey had enough so he vented and got called for a technical.

Bailey's response?

"CALL THE (EXPLETIVE) FOUL!!!!."

That lead to referee Carlos Gonzalez giving Bailey a second technical and tossing him out the game.

So even though I was sitting courtside, I still can't believe that happened.

As was Bailey.
