Bess said that the incident happened after:
"I caught the ball and ended up on that side. He pretty much said a couple of words at me, man. Whatever. I let it go. All I said was, 'Don't disrespect me like that.' I didn't curse back at him or nothing. I respect him. He's a head coach. It doesn't bother me. But at the same time, I feel offended, you know. Somebody of his stature ... to disrespect me like that, it was unnecessary." (HA)
