Rank sports in terms of calmness of coaches

[mathdotcom]

Most calm to worst calm:

Baseball
Football
Basketball
Hockey

Kind of hard to rank. I tried to take an average.

Hockey coaches often don't even react to goals but will go more nuts than any coach in any other sport when a poor call is made.

Baseball managers can steam as well, but this is relatively rare. They are typically very cool-headed and show no emotion.

Basketball - they are always bitching and whining, but don't lose it completely very often

What are the odds a manager flips out at an ump in any given game? Very rare

College football coaches are never calm, football would be #1 of you just went by college coaches.

Mikey Babcock is always calm, poised, even when game is late tied. He never complains, always is in his shoes, never overacts, if there is a bad call he smirks and carries on. Class act.
