Friction between players and coaches in the NBA is not unheard of:

Most Toxic Feuds of the Past 15 Years

It's sort of an annoying site with all the ads and the click tracking, so here are a couple of quotes:

Phil Jackson: I won't coach this team next year if he is still here. He won't listen to anyone. I've had it with this kid.... Kobe is missing out by not finding a way to become part of a system than involves giving to something larger than himself.... The boyish hero image has been replaced by that of a callous gun for hire.

Kendall Gill: I wouldn't mind running into him in a dark alley somewhere, and then we'd see how much smack he's gonna talk. Normally, I wouldn't say anything about George, but I'm tired of holding my tongue. I would have done anything to get away from George Karl. I would have played in Baghdad.... Judgment Day will come, and he'll have to meet his maker. All of the characters he tried to destroy, he'll have to pay for.

Latrell Sprewell: I wasn't choking P.J. I mean, P.J., he could breathe. It's not like he was losing air or anything like that. I mean, it wasn't a choke, I wasn't trying to kill P.J.... If you're choking someone, you don't get scratches. You get welts totally around your neck. It's not like I was going to sit there and kill the man. No, I would have stopped, definitely.
