T-worthy or not?

That article says nothing about why the player was ejected. It just gives the coach whining about what he doesn't think his player did. So there is no verification of anything here...

Even if the coach had said something along the lines of "He (the referee) told me..." it still would not be verification of anything. Using what one aggrieved party claims someone else said is not verification.
