Arkansas coach Eric Musselman had to be restrained as his team made an early exit from the Southeastern Conference tournament at the hands of No. 18 Texas A&M.
The Razorbacks suffered a 67-61 loss Friday night in the quarterfinals in which the Aggies rallied from a 13-point deficit.
And Musselman's frustrations boiled over as he made his anger very clear with Razorbacks assistants having to restrain him a couple times during the defeat.
But tensions peaked after the game when a student journalist had his phone grabbed and thrown to the ground by an Arkansas staffer who was walking behind Musselman as he left the court.
The journalist, Jack Weaver, tweeted that Musselman stormed of court 'in a rage of f-bombs' alongside a video of the incident showing the team staff member, identified as the Razorbacks video coordinator Riley Hall by CBS reporter Lee K. Howard, snatching the phone.
