The best sports coach/manager tirade ever was Lou Piniella while with Seattle in September of 2002. He went off. There was a bad call at first base and he was livid. He first threw and then kicked his hat (he would throw it again later). Screamed quite a bit at the ump. Then, this is the kicker, he threw first base into the outfield not once, but twice. That's a classic tirade and when he left the field, he got a standing ovation. How about that. This is all from memory, but there's a link below. Enjoy.

Although Cowher claims this isn't one of his best moments I still remember a game where right before the half the opposing team tryed to kick a field goal. Well they missed BUT the refree said there were too many men on the field for the Steelers. So the 5 yard penalty and rekick. Cowher had his men lined up and counted the 11. The Steelers had only had 11 on the field and even TV replay counted them then and it was 11. Well he had a still photo sent down and after the rekick it was half. He went up and stuffed the photo in the ref's front shirt pocket and went off to the locker room. It was truly a classic scene.

Herman Edwards has had some great rants with reporters while he was with the Jets... like the time they started the year off like 2-4, and everybody said they had no chance to make the playoffs !!!! Herman had a natural fit with the media that day !!!

Ditka had some great ones in the 80'a. He used to scare reporters on a weekly basis.

I have to go along with "spud"...Lou Piniella going off was the best ever...I have been watching Piniella since he won rookie of the year for KC...Even then he had a vicious temper, one of the coaches told him "Lou, even if you hit 300 you're still going to bust 7 out of 10 water fountains"

Billy Martin (former NYY manager)
his face was 1 inch away from the umps screaming as lous as he could followed by kicking dirt on him several times! He got kicked out!

Definitely when Ditka threw his gum at a reporter. I've also got an 8x10 of him flipping off lambeau field...priceless.
