INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle was ejected in the third quarter of Saturday night's game against the New Jersey Nets.

Carlisle became infuriated when referee Scott Wall called Jermaine O'Neal for a foul on Nets point guard Jason Kidd with 3:54 to play in the third quarter.

Carlisle crossed the halfcourt line and berated Wall with profanity as Austin Croshere restrained him, prompting the official to issue two quick technical fouls.

Several Pacers argued with all three officials throughout the game. O'Neal drew a technical foul in the first quarter.
