The closest I ever saw a coach come to doing something like this was about five years ago in a local kids rec league game. It was 5th grade boys and I was training some HS kids to ref. Just a few minutes after we started the second half, the coach's son missed three consecutive open layups. The coach was sitting down on the metal bench and slammed his hand down on it.
He screamed and raised his arm. You could tell just by looking at his hand hanging there that he had done something really bad to it. He kept screaming so we stopped the game. His hand was swelling up and turning blue! He left immediately to go to the emergency room and his AC took over. The following week I learned the HC had fractured his wrist and broken some of his fingers including his thumb.
Talk about really being "into" the game!
