Looked at several articles and all referenced an "incident".

Found this in one article: "According to sources, Johnson had his usual scheduled meeting with his team in the visitors locker room following the game on Friday but returned at least once to excoriate the team’s performance — a breach of protocol that caught the team by surprise."

Did he walk in while the players were undressed? That would constitute a breach of protocol.

"excoriate" might be on the list of no-nos as well.
