Coach/Athlete Fight?
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons was apparently involved in an altercation with pitcher Ted Lilly after the skipper pulled Lilly in the third. Gibbons followed the pitcher off the field and then confronted him in the tunnel where cameramen saw the manager push Lilly. A scuffle ensued and was broken up. When Gibbons came back to the bench, he was treated for a bloody nose. This is the same manager that challenged Shea Hillenbrand to a fight earlier this year. Although I love the fire that he shows, he should know his limits or at least back it up!!
This got me thinking. Who would would you like to see involved in a coach/athlete fight? And it has to be the coach going after the player. Think Zimmer going after Pedro (but only 150 lbs and 40 years less) or Woody Hayes and anybody. For the sake of comedy, you can't go wrong with Van Gundy and Yao. I wouldn't mind seeing Gruden getting popped in the face. But I have two favorites:
I would have loved to see Sean Tracey knock out Ozzie Guillen to finally shut him up after Guillen embarrassed the rookie pitcher for not hitting a batter in retaliation.
But tops on my wish list would be seeing Krzyzewski get his ass kicked, Sprewell style, during a game after cussing someone out one too many times. But since he always has sissy boys on his team, it would need to be someone from a rival team that is big and scary. I nominate Jeremis Smith from GT. And I don't think anyone would break it up.

I think Jack Del Rio vs any Jaguar. My money is on Del Rio.
I also think Sean Tracy is a vagina and needs to learn that dotting a dude in the back is part of the game.
Agreed. Sean Tracy is a splendid vagina.
I'd like to see Charlie Chest take one in the kisser from 3 first names.
I'd also like to see Rick Majerus, Rudy Gay, and Lance Bass get in a shouting match / slap fight because Rick isn't "a big Gay guy".
Charlie Chest...YES!!!! Love that dude! Bitchin' shades coach.
