Go onto WatchESPN.com and find the replay of North Carolina at Georgia Tech from 10/26.

Mid-3rd set (I think the score was 11-10), North Carolina's coach gets a Yellow Card, then a Red Card, then DQed. At no point did it seem like he said one of the magic words to warrant getting tossed, he just never slowed down his arguing after the first two cards.

It's worth noting that UNC was heavily favored but down 0-2 and down 10-11 in the 3rd. The Red Card made it 10-12. It looks like the officiating crew failed to award a point to Georgia Tech for the DQ (so it should have been 10-13). UNC responded, came back to win the set and the match. I don't know if UNC's coach decided to get tossed on purpose to "pump his team up" but if he did, it worked.
