South Carolina coach Shane Beamer was outraged during an injury timeout late in the third quarter of the Citrus Bowl against Illinois.

While Illinois’ Jaheim Clarke was mentored by coaches near South Carolina’s sideline, Illinois coach Bret Bielema went to see Clarke. Bielema then turned to the South Carolina team and staff and gave a substitution signal with his arms, as there had been some spirit regarding substitutions earlier in the game.

This seemed to infuriate Beamer, who had to be restrained and yelled at the officers.

ESPN sideline reporter Quint Kessenich stood directly behind Beamer as the events unfolded.

“Bret Bielema walked across the field to tend to his injured player and taunted Shane Beamer with the referee’s substitution stance, the appropriate signal, he did that repeatedly,” Kessenich said on the broadcast. “Beamer couldn’t believe it at first. He taunted Shane Beamer and Beamer had enough and snapped. Shane just turned to me and said, “You saw what he did.” I saw it. I saw it. He taunted the opposing coach.”

After Beamer went berserk, ESPN’s cameras caught Bielema grinning as he returned to the sideline. A common defensive tactic is to wait as long as possible to bring on an appropriate offensive personnel to slow the offense and potentially force a delay of game penalty.

Illinois led 14-10 at the time of the altercation.
