Hoiberg just drew his first-ever technical foul. As a player or coach.

If the Bulls had stopped the game to celebrate the technical foul, fans have to admit: it would’ve been on point.
Fred Hoiberg decided to make that one count, got his first career technical on national TV. #Bulls probably going to fall short in this one.

The Chicago Bulls would fall short in the end, but it sure wouldn’t be for a lack of effort. Both Pau Gasol and Derrick Rose scored 21 points in the Thursday night showdown against the Spurs.

I can just imagine the words coming out of Bulls coach’s mouth when he gets charged with the technical. Fred Hoiberg, a potty mouth?
Come on, let’s be honest.

Fred Hoiberg doesn't often get technicals, but when he does, it's in March. https://t.co/T26kg7pBVH

I guess it’s safe to assume Fred Hoiberg re-ignited the heat that March Madness would bring him while coaching in Iowa.
Bulls fans, Hoiberg is starting to see red.
Fred Hoiberg played over 10,000 minutes in the NBA without a technical foul.
