Nelson, Ellis Have Confrontation At Practice
Nov 12, 2009 5:34 PM EST
Warriors coach Don Nelson and guard Monta Ellis had a war of words during Thursday's practice in New York.
Ellis kicked off the argument when he asked Nelson: "Coach, why do I get blamed for everything?"
"What have I ever blamed you for?" Nelson asked in response.
"For everything. Everything. People not knowing their plays. I didn't do this. I didn't do that," Ellis said.
Nelson then waved off Ellis and left the practice facility.
Ellis refused to talk to media after the spat and his teammates tried to calm him down.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports that Nelson yelled at Ellis in front of the entire team after he was one of a few players that weren't quite ready to begin practice on time.
