Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan reportedly ordered disgruntled guard Gordan Giricek back to the team's headquarters following Wednesday's loss to the Charlotte Bobcats .

According to the Salt Lake Tribune, Giricek was suspended for the final two games of Utah's current road trip.

Giricek and Sloan engaged in a heated shouting match on the bench during the second quarter of the game and Sloan pointed toward the exit as assistant coach Tyrone Corbin tried to calm the situation.

Giricek was eventually sent to the locker room for the rest of the game and eventually told to return to Salt Lake City.

anyone see this or kno wat happened?

I saw it during the game, but they didn't have any comment on what happened or why he was sent away.

I know they've clashed before, but I want to know what spurred this on too

Sloan doesn't like Giricek's effort on defense.

Unfortunately, there isn't much defense being played, by Utah. Not that I'm a fan of Gordon's shoot first mentality but I don't know that he's the worst defender of the lot and Sloan ALWAYS has someone in the dog house. I wonder why this blow-up appears worse than some others?

I've noticed Sloan likes to make examples out of players when has team has been struggling over the years. Giricek is last years version of Kirilenko.
