AUSTRALIA’S basketball coach produced a foul-mouthed team talk – which the BBC aired live on Thursday morning.

And the commentators even laughed at his ‘passion’ during his X-rated tirade.

Brian Goorjian, 68, sat down with his Boomers team after the first quarter of their semi-final clash with the USA.

And despite leading the three-time defending champions 24-18, the Aussie head coach let rip in expletive fashion.

Goorjian, who has led Australia at three Olympics, blasted: “Where the f*** is the eye? Where is it?!

“They get to the red zone, we cover each others’ backs.”

The chuckling BBC commentator, covering the event at around 5.30am, said: “Well… clear comments from Brian Goorjian.”

His colleague added: “You can understand the emotion and the passion. I think the issue was zonally sometimes they were switching off.

“They weren’t covering the man as much as they would have liked. ”

‘I’M IN LOVE’

Despite the inspiring motivation after the first quarter, Goorjian could not lead his team to victory.

Team USA, led by Kevin Durant, bounced back and eventually claimed a 97-78 win.

That ensured they booked their spot in Saturday’s Tokyo final against France or Slovenia where they will be going for a staggering 16th gold medal since basketball was introduced into the Olympics in 1936.

But viewers at home were only talking about one incident: Goorjian’s rant.

One wrote: “Holy f*** this Australian basketball coach is swearing so much and they’re showing it all on TV.”

Another tweeted: “I’m in love with Brian Goorjian rn.”

A third added: “The Australian coach just swore with as much emphasis as you can.”

And a final user responded: “Australian Basketball team coach cussing on national television despite being in the lead against the US.”
