NCAA:(Video) Syracuse Coach Calls Reporter An Idiot & More During Press Conference
Syracuse mens basketball coach Jim Boeheim is known for not biting his tongue and letting any remarks fly out of his mouth. When you have a coach like that, who is forced to do press conferences after a tough loss, you never know what will be said. ESPN reporter Andy Katz attempted to ask him a question and coach Boeheim let him have it. Soon as Katz finished his question, coach said “I’ll answer anybody’s question but yours … because you’re an idiot … and really a disloyal person … and a few other things I could add but I’m not gonna go there.” In between his quotes he was giving Katz the “I wish I could stab you look”. Rumor has it the reason Boeheim reacted to him like that is Katz reportedly wrote a story on one of the Syracuse players that was supposed to be off the record. You get what you deserve.

NCAA:(Video) Ole Miss Coaches Caught Faking Reaction To New Recruit
Reality TV is rarely ever real!! All those Basketball Wives, Love&Hip-Hop, Real Housewives of Orange County and all the rest of those crap shows are more scripted than sitcoms. It’s ashame ESPN is no different! Most sports fans already know ESPN is the biggest thing in sports, but it also has alot of gossip and fake things for TV. As we see another example here. The University of Ole Miss (Mississippi) recently landed the overall #1 ranked high school football recruit in the country. This past Wednesday was the big day, and high school senior Robert Nkemdiche as well as top 5 recruit Laremy Tunsil, had already faxed their letters of intent to the Ole Miss coaching staff about 30 minutes before they went on TV on ESPN and announced to the college football world where they will be going. Only thing wrong with this is the fake a** reaction the coaching staff had to put on for ESPN since they had cameras on the campus that day. SMH. ESPN is becoming more and more about gossip instead of sports. Check the video after the jump.
