Texas Tech's Chris Beard ejected after throwing epic temper tantrum

·3 min read

Texas Tech head coach Chris Beard had a meltdown for the ages on Tuesday night.

In the final 30 seconds of Tech's 82-71 loss to Big 12 rival West Virginia, Beard lit into the officials and threw an epic temper tantrum that featured him sitting on the floor and mimicking an opposing player before the referees booted him from the game. Then after picking up the technical foul, Beard walked over to give West Virginia coach Bob Huggins a fist bump before turning around and going after the referees again. It's truly a sight to behold.

The only thing missing from that was some toddler-esque leg kicking and fist pounding. It would've been appropriate, since toddlers don't usually wear masks, and Beard wasn't wearing one either.

What was behind Beard's maskless tirade?

Tech, ranked No. 7, had a tough game against the No. 14 Mountaineers. With their three-game winning streak on the line, Texas Tech was called for 29 fouls and made 14-of-20 free throws. West Virginia committed just 20 fouls and made 29 of 39 free throws — with 27 of those free throws coming in the second half.

Beard was frustrated with the officiating, but the final straw appeared to come after a West Virginia player dove for a loose ball and immediately called a timeout. When Beard sat on the floor and made an exaggerated timeout gesture, that's what he was mimicking.

After the game, Beard told reporters that his tantrum was in defense of his players.

"I just thought that from a coaching standpoint, you gotta fight for your players," Beard said via CBS Sports. "Obviously college basketball, you guys know the drill, Big 12 policy and all that, but I would just say from my point of view, the West Virginia player was calling for a timeout on the floor. I could see it and hear it where I was standing. It's still a two possession game at that point. If that call is made, then we've got a chance to set up our press and still have a chance to play the game. That call sent a 90% free throw shooter to the line and it's gonna separate the game to a three possession game."

Beard's not wrong. Despite leading for only a few minutes out of the entire game, Texas Tech kept it close until those final seconds when West Virginia jumped out to a big lead. That definitely doesn't mean Beard should've thrown a hissy fit about it, but at least it was caught on camera. It can serve as a reminder that no matter what, you've probably never thrown an enraged, floor-sitting temper tantrum at your workplace.

  • Polylactic Acid Market to Reach USD 2,306,708.2 Thousand by 2028; Growing Packaging Industry to Stimulate Growth, says Fortune Business Insights™

    Top companies covered are NatureWorks (Minnetonka, Minnesota, United States), Total Corbion PLA (Gorinchem, Netherlands), BASF SE (Ludwigshafen, Germany), Sulzer (Winterthur, Switzerland), and other key players profiled in polylactic acid (PLA) market research reportPune, India, March 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global polylactic acid market size is expected to gain momentum by reaching USD 2,306,708.2 thousand by 2028 while exhibiting an impressive CAGR of 16.3% between 2021 and 2028. Fortune Business Insights published this information in its latest report, titled, “Polylactic Acid Market, 2021-2028.” The report further mentions that the market stood at USD 698,200.9 thousand in 2020. The growth is attributable to the rising packaging industry and the growing demand for biodegradable plastics that will propel the demand for advanced polylactic acid during the forecast period. COVID-19 Leads to Reduced Adoption of PLA Owing to Industrial Shutdown In April 2020, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimated a 3% fall in the overall global economic activity in 2020, which is believed to be higher than the 2009 economic slowdown. The shutdown of industries has led to reduced industrial demand for PLA and other plastic packaging products. Moreover, several government agencies have banned the use of single-use plastics citing no provision for the biodegradation of the materials. This is expected to hamper the market growth in the short run. However, proactive initiatives from the government and private companies are expected to favor the growth of the market in the forthcoming years. For instance, November 2020 – Total Corbion PLA released its whitepaper that explains its position on the preferred end-of-life options for PLA bioplastics. The company further outlined the importance of PLA products and its applications that can aid in contributing towards effective functioning of a circular economy.

Lastly, based on region, the market is bifurcated into Europe, Latin America, Asia-Pacific, North America, and the Middle East and Africa. What does the report include? The global market for the polylactic acid report includes a detailed analysis using several research methodologies and focuses on crucial aspects such as leading companies, applications, and products. It further includes accurate insights into the latest market trends and highlights vital industry developments. In addition to this, the report covers various factors that have contributed to the growth of market growth between 2021 and 2028. DRIVING FACTORS Rising Packaging Industry to Favor Market Growth According to the United Nations Joint Group of Experts on the Scientific Aspects of Marine Pollution (GESAMP), it is estimated that around 80% of the land-based plastic sources account for the overall marine pollution globally. The rising concerns over the disposal of plastic is expected to boost the adoption of biodegradable plastics such as polylactic acid that are derived from biological raw materials across the packaging sector. The increasing adoption of sustainable packaging materials backed by the surging demand for packaged goods across supermarkets and retail stores is, therefore, expected to bode well for the global polylactic acid market growth during the forecast period.

This slump has been so significant that it has disrupted the entire entire value chain, with Boeing and Airbus cutting production by 50% for 2020. The aerospace and defense industry has, therefore, been a significant growth restraint on the HIL testing market. With a strong automotive presence and home to two of the world’s fastest growing aviation markets, Asia-Pacific will be an important region for the HIL testing market.
