Maryland Coach Caught On Camera Screaming In Star Player’s Face During Viral March Madness Moment That Has Social Media Flipping Out [VIDEO]

She did not hold back…

Cameras caught Maryland Terrapins head coach Brenda Frese unloading on guard Oluchi Okananwa during Sunday’s second-round affair against North Carolina.

The teams went head-to-head in a highly-anticpated NCAA Tournament tilt, with UNC coming out on top.

Frese tried to rally her star player, getting in her face and screaming.

While Okananwa scored 21 points, her tally was not enough to help the Terps avoid the 74-66 loss.

“Totally uncalled for by the coach she must have been on her period or something,” a user claimed.

“Would she do that to a white woman tho?” asked another.


“Jemele Hill gonna get a week of content from this,” someone predicted.

A few users offered lip-reading services.

“‘I believe in you, but you’ve got to want this moment…’” one wrote.

“What I could catch: “I need you to do(something) “ I believe in you !…but you’ve got  to want this moment!” Something “Alright *pat*” The finger was alot but all good words in the end,” another shared.


“Absolutely nothing wrong here. Only ones crying never played sports or quit sports growing up. Sorry but will never make sports soft and never should be,” someone suggested.

Did Brenda Frese go over the top here? Or is this what you want to see from a coach?
