Bibguy Hearts Coaching Meltdowns

Only two things could bring me out of my brief blogging sabbatical - a dead pro wrestler or a coach melting down right before our eyes.

Thanks to this guy for pointing out Syracuse men's basketball coach Jim Boeheim (pronounced BO-HEEM)'s meltdown last night after a devastating 72-69 loss to the Cleveland State Vikings on a 60-foot shot at the buzzer.

Here is the video. Please sit back and enjoy, and I'll give my thoughts following the video...



My thoughts...

1. Jim's head must itch in the first 5 seconds or so. He must have lice. Might want to have that checked, buddy.
2. His expression at the 0:07 mark is classic. It says "I just lost to Cleveland F'n State, and I'm Jim F'N Boheem. Can't we get a mic that works?"
3. At the 0:15 mark, Jim is trying his best to be patient, but one can see the meltdown coming.
4. At 0:23, his patience is about as thin as his hair He makes a plea for the sound guy to "either turn this down or off, either one. I don't care what you do."
5. After #4, if I was the sound guy and listened to Boheem tell me that he "doesn't care" what I did, I would've cranked it up so it made feedback that rivaled that noise that was played in the Metrodome after Iowa beat the Gophers in 2002. The kind of noise that might make a frustrated coach bitch slap the microphone and then try to break its neck.
6. Look! MY exact scenario happened after the 0:23 mark. WAY TO GO SOUND GUY!
7. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how Boheem goes on nonchalantly after he assaulted the microphone, and then snapped its neck. WHAT DID THE MIC EVER DO TO YOU, BOHEEM?

All in all, a nice coaching meltdown. I would rank it behind Kevin Borseth, Dan Hawkins, Mike Gundy, Dennis Green, and Jim Mora, but nonetheless, it's still a good one.
