Youth basketball coach savagely blocks a kid's shot on his own basket
As any kind of educator or youth sports coach, your goal is to help make your kids better. More than anything, you want to help them grow into good people, to guide them in the right direction.
But sometimes, kids just don't go in the right direction no matter how many times you tell them to. In those situations, you have to dish out some tough love.
That's exactly what this youth basketball coach decided to do when he saw that one of his players was on track to take a shot on the wrong basket. You don't have to be a sports fan to know that scoring on yourself is literally the most embarrassing thing you can do during a game.
To prevent that, the coach delivered an absolutely savage shot block, one that Dikembe Mutombo would be proud of.

You can bet that kid will never go the wrong direction again.
