As a basketball official, I know if a coach comes stomping onto the court to argue about something, it's more than likely a technical. At the high school level and below, coming onto the court is a major no-no.

Still, between basketball and softball (the only sports I work), I would say basketball coach behavior is infinitely worse. Every year when softball starts up again it shocks me how much calmer it is than basketball. Just because basketball coaches don't walk onto the court doesn't mean they're not just as much - or more - annoying. Their close proximity to the officials and the constant action of the game make it very different than softball. Though I don't think managers should just run out and start screaming, it seems like USC is less of an issue in softball than it is in basketball.
