He was there with his boss from San Francisco and a couple of people from work — they were there for something — and they were sitting like six rows away from the bench,” Hardy explained. “So we won, the arena is going crazy, and on the walk out towards the tunnel, they’re sitting right there, and I yelled something at him in the stands.
As Hardy went into the tunnel, he was oblivious to the kerfuffle he’d cause. He hadn’t considered how the optics of the situation might be different to those operating without the context he had. So it was that what he intended to be a playful expletive from one friend to another for rooting for the wrong team became interpreted by security as an NBA coach yelling an invective in response to a surely provocative and over-the-line attendee.
The coach quickly found himself confused, then embarrassed and apologetic when he got an update on the situation. “So I got in the back and went and talked to the team, and then our security guy came up to me and said, ‘Hey, don’t worry, we got the guy. He’s in the back. We’re going over the film. He’s gonna be banned from the arena. Don’t worry about it. We’re gonna figure out what he said to you.’ And I was like, ‘Huh?’” Hardy said. “And they said, ‘Yeah, the guy that you yelled at in the crowd.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, no, no, no, no, no! That’s a friend of mine. That was all me.
“So yeah, I almost got a friend of mine banned from the arena forever and arrested,” he said, laughing. “So I’ll remember that one forever, for sure.”
