Being a head coach in any sport is one of the most stressful jobs in any field. You’re getting paid to win while also being responsible by acting as a babysitter for your athletes. These days, if you can’t produce immediately after getting the job, then you’re going to be put out to pasture. It’s that kind of pressure that forces these 10 2016 NCAA tournament coaches to act a little insane on the sidelines.
10. Jim Boeheim, Syracuse
Getty ImagesBoeheim has gotten a little tamer as he's gotten older, but he's had multiple incidents in which he blew up at referees and made his way out onto the court over the years.
9. Jamie Dixon, Pittsburgh

Although Dixon has since taken the head coaching job at his alma mater, TCU, he's earned a reputation for being one of the most intense coaches in college basketball with his sideline antics.
8. Jay Wright, Villanova
Getty ImagesIt's hard to criticize a guy that has his team in the Final Four, but Wright can certainly be as intense as any coach in the nation.
7. Bill Self, Kansas
Getty ImagesSelf was pretty reserved in 2016, but his team also only lost four games so there wasn't much to be upset about. He's certainly let his temper fly on a number of occasions.
6. Sean Miller, Arizona
Getty ImagesThis year the Arizona coach was known for sweating through multiple shirts on the sideline. Normally, Miller is known for his intensity from the bench.
5. Tom Izzo, Michigan State
Getty ImagesIzzo is one of the greatest college basketball coaches of all time, but his temper has been known to get the better of him at times.
4. Tom Crean, Indiana
Getty ImagesCrean seems like one of the nicest guys off the court, but can certainly bust out into a fit of a rage if a bad call goes against him.
3. Mark Turgeon, Maryland
Getty ImagesTurgeon has done a solid job since arriving at Maryland, but his sideline antics sometimes make you think otherwise.
2. Mike Krzyzewski, Duke
Getty ImagesCoach K knows how to handle himself on the sideline, but that doesn't mean the Army veteran doesn't get fired up. He doesn't hesitate to get in a player's face and he's also known to ride the refs as hard as any coach in college basketball.
1. Bob Huggins, West Virginia
Getty ImagesHe's mellowed out a little bit since having a heart attack, but Huggins still isn't afraid to get right in the face of referees and his players. In the Big-12 tournament, he yelled at Daxter Miles Jr. something fierce, as he got right up in his face during a timeout.
