This Youth Basketball Coach Blocking His Player From Shooting on the Wrong Hoop Has People Crying Laughing

But did he go too hard on the little guy?

Coaching youth basketball involves plenty of patience.

But one coach is going viral today for losing his patience, storming out onto the court and blocking the shot of his player, who was shooting on the wrong basket. The hilarious clip was played on the noon edition of ESPN's SportsCenter on Friday and was tweeted out by Sports Illustrated.

We're sure this coach sat this kid down afterward and taught him why he rejected his shot. But this clip is going to live on in internet infamy for quite some time.

Here's the footage itself and the hilarious reactions to it.
