When NBA Players Fight Coaches

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
These are NBA players vs. NBA coaches.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:03)
Wow, right in the face of Quinn Schneider.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:05)
And with the foul now having orders with heat assistant coach.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:08)
And first, we got the time the Suns' coach tried to belittle Kevin Durant.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:12)
Time out, Kevin Durant and head coach Boudinosa had a discussion.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:15)
Hey, if you put your hands on someone, you better be ready to fight. Like the time a Bulls' coach tried to hold back DeMarcus Cousins, and Cousins wanted all the smoke.

**SPEAKER_5** (0:23)
Oh boy, some pushing and shoving.

**SPEAKER_6** (0:25)
Oh, and Cousins just pushed the coach of the Chicago Bulls.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:29)
And John Collins was ready, too, because when a coach pushed him, John was about to rock him.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:33)
Wow, yeah, and now John Collins, oh my.

**SPEAKER_7** (0:36)
Back out, back out.

**SPEAKER_8** (0:38)
One of the assistant coaches pushed John Collins away.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:41)
But a Bucs' assistant coach actually got rocked, because when he tried to break up a scuffle between Marvin Williams and James Ennis, this happened.

**SPEAKER_9** (0:48)
He's from Milwaukee, and now look out at the other end of the floor. Marvin Williams and Ennis have to be separated, and Ennis, I believe, threw a punch. Bottom of your picture, fighting for the rebound. Joe Williams take the shove and then step in, and that was what got under Ennis' skin, and right there.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:03)
I know that hurt, but Mike Woodson was hurting more, because not only did he get decked by Jason Kidd, but he got a technical foul too.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:11)
Jason Kidd making contact with Mike Woodson. Woodson was on the court, and a heated exchange between Kidd and Woodson.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:21)
And Joe Mazzulli should have got a tech for this play, because when Royce O'Neil took a jumper, Joe tried to block him.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:27)
Brown looks at an exclamation point on it.

**SPEAKER_10** (1:31)
He stepped on the floor, trying to block a shot attempt of a player.

**SPEAKER_11** (1:34)
I'm not sure I've ever seen that.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:35)
That was good defense, but LeBron's playing his own game out there. Because when JJ Reddick was trying to call a play, LeBron completely ignored him.

**SPEAKER_10** (1:43)
Bad as it gets when Brooks is the guy who's doing damage.

**SPEAKER_12** (1:47)
55.5 left.

**SPEAKER_13** (1:51)
And a timeout call by JJ Reddick.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:53)
Not happy with what he's seeing right now.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:55)
But there was one coach Steph Curry couldn't ignore. Because when the Rockets took on the Warriors, Eme Udoka and Steph got into it.

**SPEAKER_11** (2:01)
There is a lot of talking. There's a lot of conversation.
There's something going on in this building tonight.

**Nate Robinson** (2:08)
He made a reservation for international smoke and then he canceled it. And so I was I was kind of upset with him.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:15)
But you don't want to get into it with Giannis, because his assistant coach pissed him off. So he told the coach he'd end him. But after reporters asked Giannis about what happened, he revealed that fighting is part of the game.

**Giannis Antetokounmpo** (2:24)
You always fight with your brothers. We fight, we argue, but at the end of the day, we both want to win. I think there's anybody from this team wants to win more than Sweeney and me.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:33)
But if Lebron could have punched Darvin Ham, he would have. Because when Lebron said the Lakers should have challenged the call, Darvin Ham ignored him. And Lebron crashed out.

**SPEAKER_11** (2:41)
Knocks it away. He's saying he was tucked last by Denver.

**SPEAKER_8** (2:44)
Darvin Ham not going to challenge it though.

**SPEAKER_9** (2:46)
And Lebron really infuriated.

**SPEAKER_11** (2:49)
He is screaming.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:50)
But Chris Paul flamed the coach by laughing at him. Because when Steve Kerr tried joking around with CP3, Chris clowned him.
Well fans want to know why CP3 did that. So he hopped on IG and revealed it to the world. He's cold. But Tristan Thompson was heated. Because when his coach told him to get back on defense, Tristan tweeted.

**SPEAKER_16** (3:13)
Tristan Thompson calves forward.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:15)
As you can see, Tristan opts not to get back on defense.

**SPEAKER_16** (3:19)
Tristan stays in the back court, ends up getting a dunk.

**SPEAKER_13** (3:23)
And he's still frustrated at the toe. Cleveland showing no signs of playing last night in Cleveland against Houston. Thompson words for somebody on the bench.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:33)
But at least he didn't get physical. Because during the Miami Heat game, Ron Artest was yapping. So Pat Riley shoved him.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:39)
Ron Artest strong enough to finish even with the foul. Now having words with Heat assistant coach Keith Askins. And Pat Riley is fired up.
