Still, probably not as bad as what Latrell Sprewell did to his coach back in 1997.
And certainly not as bad as what the father of a middle school basketball player did to her daughter's basketball coach back in 2012 in Michigan City, Indiana:
A girl was arguing with a another teammate so the coach made them both run laps as punishment. When the girl told her father, Shelley Miller, the father brutally assaulted the middle school basketball coach, repeatedly punching him in the face and head until he was unconscious, sending him to the hospital.
Shelley Miller - Father and Felon
Surprisingly (or maybe not if you are familiar with ghetto trash), acquaintances who accompanied Miller to his arraignment defended Miller's actions.
Even though the coach did not hit the daughter or treat her unfairly, Miller and his family/friends still believed assault was an appropriate response. You can't argue with savages.

NBA's Cavaliers suspended player for throwing soup at coach
By Field Level Media | March 02, 2018
J.R. Smith was suspended for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers as punishment for throwing a bowl of soup at Cleveland Cavaliers assistant coach Damon Jones.
ESPN reported the details of the suspension Friday morning. The Cavaliers announced the suspension for "conduct detrimental" on Thursday.
Coach Tyronn Lue said before the game against the 76ers that Smith was suspended for something that happened after shoot-around Thursday morning but didn't offer specifics. He added that Smith will be ready for practice Friday and return for the team's game against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday.
Rodney Hood started in Smith's place against the Sixers and scored 11 points.
Smith is averaging 8.3 points and 1.9 assists in 59 games (56 starts) this season. The 32-year-old has seen his playing time dip in the team's last three games, getting a season-low 15 minutes on the court against the Memphis Grizzlies last Friday.

Ind. basketball dad knocks coach unconscious because he forced daughter to run laps

An Indiana father is facing serious charges after launching a brutal attack on his daughter's assistant middle school basketball coach for the coach's implementation of an incredibly simple and traditional practice: He made her run laps in the gym.
As reported by South Bend-based TV network WSBT, Michigan City, Ind., basketball father Shelly Miller, aged 37, attacked Michigan City (Ind.) St. Stanislas School assistant middle school girls basketball coach Jeffrey Yackus shortly after one of the team's daily practice concluded.
According to WSBT, Yackus had punished Miller's daughter and another player who argued with each other during practice. Yet the only punishment that Yackus meted out was making the two girls run laps in the school's gym.
It appears that pushed the elder Miller over the edge. When he went to pick up his daughter later, she told the elder Miller about her punishment and he immediately attacked Yackus and punched him in the face.
That first punch apparently leveled the assistant coach, knocking him to the ground, where Miller climbed on top of him and repeatedly punched him in the face and head until he was completely unconscious.
In fact, the incident could have been much worse had it not been for swift intervention by the St. Stanislas head coach, Robert Johnson, who pulled the parent from his colleague and helped transport Yackus to the hospital.
In the immediate aftermath of the incident, Miller was arrested on Class C felony battery charges and was held on $15,000 bond, which he posted shortly thereafter. Meanwhile, the school confirmed that his daughter and the rest of the family were no longer affiliated with the school in any way.
And to think, the entire incident started with a pair of girls basketball players running laps.
Incredibly, those who accompanied Miller to his arraignment defended his actions to a WSBT reporter on site.
"If the coach is [expletive] with your kid, what are you to do?" Wynter Goodwin told the station. "You can't talk to him."
