Tigers pitching coach Chris Bosio was fired on Wednesday, just a few months into his first season, for what the team called “insensitive comments” to a team employee. Those around the Tigers organization have stayed remarkably tight-lipped about what it was that Bosio said, but WXYZ first reported that Bosio’s…
Phillies manager Gabe Kapler had a hell of a first week on the job. First he mismanaged the bullpen to the point that he needed to put a position player on the mound just a few games into the season, and then he tried to make a pitching change before anyone had been given a chance to warm up. The second week has…
The Missouri and Georgia coaching staffs got into an old-man brawl at the end of the first half of today’s game between the Tigers and Bulldogs in Athens, with referee Karl Hess even inserting himself into the ruckus and shoving people in what his mind we’re sure passes for an attempt to restore order.
Cincinnati head coach Tommy Tuberville was getting it from the fans after the Bearcats’ 20-3 loss to BYU at home tonight, and he gave it back to one of them—telling the man to “go to hell” and “get a job”:
Today’s 65kg freestyle wrestling bronze medal match between Uzbekistan’s Ikhtiyor Navruzov and Mongolian Ganzorigiin Mandakhnaran ended in controversy as Ganzorigiin was assessed a penalty for celebrating his victory early, costing him the victory. A subsequent penalty point came after the Mongolian coaches began…
Coach gotta chill out, man. The concussion problem in football is bad enough without you making it worse on yourself.
The Patriots are notoriously cagey when it comes to talking publicly about player injuries, which is why it was kind of weird to see the team release an official statement about Rob Gronkowski’s knee injury. At this morning’s press conference, head coach Bill Belichick was asked why the team decided to do that:
Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly owes a debt to the Miami Hurricanes and the officiating crew that allowed their insane kick-off return to stand, because I have a feeling the incident above would have gotten a lot more attention this weekend if there hadn’t been something else for college football fans to freak out…
The Eagles are 0-2, and although it’s certainly unfair to write off a team after two games, you wouldn’t blame Eagles fans for looking at Chip Kelly with eyebrows raised as high as they’ll go. Is this—a completely dysfunctional squad that can’t be bothered to beat a Cowboys team down Tony Romo and Dez Bryant—really…
The University of Illinois just announced the firing of head football coach Tim Beckman after an external review into the coach’s conduct revealed him to have put his players at risk.
USC head coach Steve Sarkisian, who is in a bit of trouble after getting hammered drunk and talking some shit at a team event, spoke to reporters this morning and explained his public drunkenness. According to Sark, it wasn’t the booze that had him acting silly, it was the meds he was on.
Gregg Popovich is never cuddly with the media under any circumstances, but if there was ever time when he was guaranteed to be extra salty, it was after watching his team get whupped by the Clippers in Game 1.
On April 17, Rick Vanderhook, the head coach of the Cal State Fullerton Titans, a powerhouse in Division I college baseball, was placed on administrative leave. He returned to the team a month later, but the reason for his brief absence remained a mystery. Now, thanks to documents obtained from Cal State Fullerton…
Scott Norwood resigned as Arkansas-Little Rock's head baseball coach Monday, 10 days after the university completed an investigation into allegations of physical and sexual harassment. Norwood was cleared in the investigation, but the audio recording below—one of what we're told are dozens in which the coach melts…
From the Whittier Daily News comes a wonderfully profane audio clip of Kim Brooks, the baseball coach at La Mirada High in La Mirada, California, absolutely laying into his team after a recent loss.
Clippers head coach Doc Rivers is not happy about a call referees appeared to get wrong even after replay that allowed for a bonkers Oklahoma City Thunder comeback, saying he's "pissed" and that the replay situation was "a bunch of crap."
Despite being one of the most infamous coaching meltdowns in history and either the first or second thing that comes to mind when you hear the name Bobby Knight, there is one crucial aspect of The Incident With The Chair that is consistently misremembered: the type of chair he chucked across the floor.
Is Jim Harbaugh coaching? Then he's probably throwing some kind of tantrum. He was certainly up to his usual tricks at the end of the first half today, and if we have to pick sides we're hoping for another game of Jim Harbaugh antics in the Super Bowl.
Iowa head coach Fran McCaffery chose a bad time to get ejected from the Hawkeyes' bout against fourth-ranked Wisconsin in Madison: as they held onto a two-point lead over the undefeated Badgers halfway through the second half. That lead disappeared thanks to the four free throws McCaffery afforded his opponent, and…
