Watch Mick Cronin kick his own player out of the game vs. MSU

Michigan State and UCLA squared off on Tuesday night, with the Spartans dominating the game, earning a 82-59 victory.

In the game, a scary play occurred when Steven Jamerson took a hard foul on Carson Cooper, who was streaking in on a wide-open dunk. The play rose to the level of a flagrant one foul, but UCLA head coach Mick Cronin was having none of it, and he decided to make Jamerson leave the court and the game, heading back to the locker room.

As Tom Izzo said, "I guess Mick Cronin upgraded that to a flagrant two, huh? That's the first time I've saw a coach do that. He'll get that straightened out."

Cronin kicked his own player out of the game, and it was caught on video:
