Steve Kerr unhappy with technical foul given for Ky Bowman stare down

Remember the days when you would ask your sibling to get out of your room and they would stand right outside of it and say "Well, I'm not in your room?" And then your parents punish you. Yeah, it was kind of like that.

During Wednesday's 107-98 loss to the Bucks, Warriors point guard Ky Bowman left those on the court speechless with this:

The Draymond Green-assisted play ended with the crowd cheering, but also ended in a technical foul on Bowman ... for staring at Bucks guard Kyle Korver.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr wasn't too happy with the call, saying staring is considered "taunting," in this case:

A technical foul, according to the NBA Official Rulebook, should be assessed for unsportsmanlike conduct. With a quick glimpse through the book, there is no verbiage pertaining to "staring."

So, Kerr might have a point in that this "seems like a new rule."

He's also no stranger to dealing with officials.

The NBA recently fined Kerr $25,000 after "verbally abusing a referee and failing to leave the court in a timely manner," after an ejection Monday night against the Kings. If you're confident in your lip-reading skills, you have an idea of why he was asked to leave.

But at least he got to stay for the entire game against the Bucks this time around.
