Vanderbilt's head coach Jerry Stackhouse watches his players on offense during the game between Vanderbilt University and University of Memphis at FedExForum in Memphis, Tenn., on Saturday, December 23, 2023.

Vanderbilt coach Jerry Stackhouse was assessed a technical foul for yelling at officials and slamming a basketball on the court during the first half of the Commodores' game against Memphis on Saturday at FedExForum.

Stackhouse was protesting an out-of-bounds call as the ball had appeared to go out off Memphis forward David Jones, but it was ruled to be off a Vanderbilt player instead.

After that call, Stackhouse expressed his displeasure to the officials, then threw a basketball on the court.

With the technical, Memphis received two free throws, which it made, and retained possession of the ball, off which Jones hit a 3-pointer.

It was overall a five-point swing for the Commodores (4-7), who led by six at the time that Stackhouse was charged with the technical foul, which came with 3:37 remaining in the first half of the game.
