Wizards' assistant coach tried to go fight a fan

[xdrta+]

Without knowing what was said it’s hard to take a position either way.

Either the ‘fan’ is a real POS or the assistant overreacted, it all depends on what was said.

I disagree with the idea that the assistant can’t react no matter what said, at some point some people just need a good knee to the face

Sure, if you don't mind being arrested for assault.

if this was all that was then the coach is the mentally softest dude in the arena.

awwwwww little words hurt your feelings so you can't do your job? go to the back of the line there are plenty of other coaches who can do as well as you AND stay professional.

What, Batiste was the one who got angry? he played in Greece for like 10 years. What did the Wizards fan say that he didn't hear in Europe already? When you play for Euroleague for so long, you don't really pay attention to the fans heckling you anymore.

All of these players and coaches are soft now. Even if you couldn't take the heckling, there have been multiple players this year that just got the ref and security to kick them out. As a coach, you should definitely be smart enough not to go into the stands

One time, as I was visiting my mother's grave at the cemetary, a man walked by and asked if she died from spreading her legs too wide. I flew into a rage, lunged at him, when out of nowhere, montrezl harrell came out from behind the bushes and bear hugged me pulling me aside as I lay sobbing in his arms. True story

Is this a true story fr. It's dope of trez if true but sinister of you if not. I wouldn't speak those things into existence

The day before: Charlotte player gets up like he's about to punch his head coach.

Tonight: Wizards asst coach gets up to go fight a fan

Heat games are wild.

Speak on the Charlotte incident. I haven't heard anything about it

Was he referring to Ted Leonsis or Ted Lasso?

Life advice young buck, don't think about assaulting someone physically in front of thousands of people while on camera.

Just because someone deserves a whooping does not mean it is in your best interest to give it to them.

I think Silver needs to do some creative thinking to bring back more fighting into the league. I think I speak for everyone when I say we want more fighting in the league. Among players, among fans, and also between players and fans. So many different things to watch for. It also brings back the role of the enforcer which is something that's sorely been missed.

He doesn't speak Greek - he thought those people were paying him compliments

That Wizards coach should be arrested immediately. As should the rest of the team for how they've played thus far. Matter of fact I should be arrested for following this team for 30 years.

Yeah I'll give coach a pass if this is true.

A ribbing comment from a fan doesn't or at least shouldn't phase anyone but constant continual crap would get me boiling.

The way I see it think back when you're a kid. You've either had this friend or been this friend. A soft punch on the shoulder from a mate means nothing. But when that mate keeps giving repeated soft punches to the same spot just waiting for a reaction and then finally gets one.

Fan got what he wanted in the end. Unless he gets banned of course.

Oh so let’s let this play out the way the coach wanted.

Think best case scenario-

*coach goes into the stands and beats the guy down...KO in one punch...
*it leads sports center... “Ja blocked a shot into the parking lot but we have to start off with the play of the day...the wiz Coach Knocking out the drunk fan and the wiz get the win because the players were so excited that they came back from 30 with 2 minutes to play- really why don’t more coaches do this!”
*The coach gets a raise and is now going to take Steve Kerr’s job in Golden State right after the allstar game
*They name coach of the year award after him


Worse case scenario-

*the coach makes it to the fan
*the coach and fan fight
*the coach and fan hurt a bunch of innocent people
*more people Start fighting because a chair gets thrown
*someone dies in the melee
*coach goes to jail for STARTING the fight
*coach loses job and gets blackballed from the NBA for life
*wiz still lose
*Fan kinda right about the suspect coaching and play of the wizards losing 8 of 9 games

Spoiler:

AND the wiz re-sign Beal to a supermax

If the wiz don’t fire this guy they will be setting a very dangerous precedent.....

The NBA isn’t a combat sport where fans are there FOR the violence

Nil issues. Some people deserve a punch

Nil issues. Some people deserve a punch

And those who punch them deserve jail time.

All these tough guys begging for jail over some words at a game by a stranger...but you know jail is for jail type dudes...
