Worst Coach in a movie

Coach Bobby Finstock....

Coach Finstock: Look Scotty, I know what you're going through. Couple years back, a kid came to me much the same way you're coming to me now, saying the same thing that you're saying. He wanted to drop off the team. His mother was a widow, all crippled up. She was scrubbing floors. She had this pin in her hip. So he wanted to drop basketball and get a job. Now these were poor people, these were hungry people with real problems. Understand what I'm saying?
Scott Howard: What happened to the kid?
Coach Finstock: I don't know. He quit. He was a third stringer, I didn't need him.

Winner.

Au contrare

Coach Finstock's are words to live by:

Coach Finstock: There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

How about Buttermaker? He bought his daughters contract with a training bra, then sat in his little league dugout drinking beer while she blew out her arm.

What are you talking about? He turned that team around!
 
Tom Hanks in "A League of Their Own" was always drunk and was abusive to everyone except Geena Davis.

In the movie, it was South Bend.



Look at how poorly coached they were. No shot clock and the dude dribbles up the sideline slowly into a trap over midcourt that he should have seen coming a mile away. The Hickory players are even giving away their plan with hand signals. It was like he wanted to turn the ball over. Call a TO and get organized, coach.

At least Jimmy didn't Chong it up. He was either going to win the game or go to OT.

My other nominee would be the crazy coach in that movie Miracle that pulled the best goalie in the world in the Olympic semifinals after one soft goal.

Ah, but there was a reason for that!

 
I also nominate the coach from "Air Bud 3- Golden Receiver". There's no way Bud should have been out there. No thumbs, and there has to be some sort of broken rule there.

Perhaps... the rule of thumb??

This really should be two categories. Coaches in a comedy, and coaches in sports dramas. Pops is still the worst coach in a drama.
 
How about the Sensei from the Karate Kid? Sweep the leg... Out of commission... No mercy... Just a thought.

He was up against Mr. Miagi. You couldn't expect Sensei to beat possibly the greatest coach in movie history.
 
Thoughts on Tony D'Amato - Any Given Sunday. I thought of this football movie because I didn't like it at first, but then I did enjoy it for what it was. Al Pacino was his typical self so I thought he was OK in this role.

It worked, but giving the ok for a wobbly-kneed old catcher like Tom Berenger to put down a bunt was pretty foolish. That team had no business being there, though.

I'm sorry, but this might be the greatest motivational tactic of our times (outside of the Pacino's Any Given Sunday speech).

Whoever was in Apollo Creeds corner when the Russian killed him. They should've thrown in the towel.

That would be Rocky Balboa.

I thought " Duke " was Apollo's lead trainer but one of those guys should've thrown that towel. That was traumatic like when Cochise
died.

Yeah, not sure who should have thrown it, but Rocky threw the bloody towel in...eventually.
