If you thought being a witness to LaVar Ball’s madness was bad, imagine being a victim of it.

Meet Stephan Gilling, the coach of the Chino Hills basketball team that features LaVar’s sons LiAngelo and LaMelo. Chino Hills just completed a 30-3 season that ended with a disappointing playoff loss and a brewing feud between Gilling and LaVar, according to USA Today.

The controversy started during a December tournament in Las Vegas, where LaVar was contradicting Gilling’s instructions from the stands. Gilling had told the team to play straight-up man-to-man defense. LaVar continually shouted “double team” to the confused players, unsure whether to follow their coach or the dad of the team’s two most important players.

Gilling eventually won out, and Chino Hills rallied to a victory. LaVar was not calmed by the success. Against Gilling’s wishes, he forged his way into the locker room to talk to the team.

“He comes to me and says, ‘What are you doing? What are you doing?’ I said, ‘What do you mean? I’m trying to win the game,’” Gilling recalled to the paper.

“He turns around and walks to our locker room. I said, ‘LaVar, don’t go into the locker room.’ He continues walking. I said, ‘LaVar, why are you trying to embarrass me?’ And he just kept walking and goes into the locker room. He’s in there sitting down with the team. And I’m like, ‘LaVar, get out!’”

According to Gilling, Ball was not done imposing his will on the players — gathering them in the hotel to take credit for the win.

“I guess he got them out of their rooms on the 18th floor and tells the team that it was his system that won,” Gilling said. “That we’re doing what he says. ‘I run Chino Hills! I run UCLA, about to run the NBA!’”

Gilling was promoted to head coach this season after LaVar’s oldest son, Lonzo, led the team to an undefeated season and a Super 25 title in 2015-16. And now we all have been subjected to LaVar’s blathering nonsense during Lonzo’s rise to prominence at UCLA, which plays Kentucky in the Sweet 16 on Friday night.

So why is Gilling so publicly defending himself against Ball, who presumably has major pull on the local high school sports scene? LaVar recently eviscerated Gilling for the job he did in an ESPN Radio interview.

“That coach is hard-headed,” Ball said. “He wanted to do things his way. If we would have gotten along, we would have been in the state title easy. But he’s trying to have a little resistance towards me. And I’m like, ‘Man, try and do it your way. That’s why you lost three games.’

“Because once he run and just play and when my son really wants to play for you, we’re gonna do good. But when you have any kind of resistance towards me, and you the head coach, it don’t work out that good. I already knew he was going to lose that game.”

Chino Hills athletic director Jeff Schuld told USA Today that Gilling’s job is safe. LiAngelo is set to graduate and LaMelo will be a junior next season. Both have committed to following Lonzo’s path to UCLA, though neither is projected to be as transcendent a talent as Lonzo is.

The good news for Gilling? He only has to deal with LaVar the next two seasons, while the brash basketball dad seems destined to be plastered on the rest of our televisions for years to come.
