While Atlanta Hawks were trailing against the Chicago Bulls, Hawks assistant coach Melvin Hunt was trying to give a boost to his team.

He seemed animated when suddenly he slammed the chair in front of him, which almost hit Trai Young. Young was sitting and couldn’t react much in front of his angry boss, but was fortunate enough to not get hit by the chair.

The frustration was understandable as the scoreline after the third quarter read 91-65. But as an experienced coach, Hunt should have been more careful, especially considering the fact that it was so close to cause an injury to one of their players. Commentators were also of a similar opinion which they voiced on air.

And it could well be that the 15-year veteran coach would be disciplined by the club.
