Rockets Fan Charged With Punching Pelicans Assistant Coach After Game

The NBA season may have just started, but it looks like there's already been another incident with a disruptive fan.

We all remember last season when Russell Westbrook got into it with a Jazz fan who was allegedly making racially-charged remarks, or when this Warriors fan decided to push Kyle Lowry for no reason during the Finals.

But now it looks like these fans are also going after coaches. Well, at least this Rockets one did, as he was accused of punching an assistant coach for the Pelicans.

The incident supposedly happened after the game and the man was charged with misdemeanor assault for attacking Joe Boylan.

It still isn't known exactly what caused the altercation. The NBA may have bigger issues on their hands, but these fan incidents are definitely something that need to be addressed before they become even more frequent.
