Watch football coach fall for exploding ball trick
In our golf pranks manifesto, the exploding ball trick received high marks for its simplicity, use of teamwork and spectacle of a payoff. How good is this gag? Clemson Tigers football coach Dabo Swinney sniffed it out ahead of time, and it still worked.
Swinney, playing in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge, sensed that he was about to be duped.

Of course, Swinney was also once kicked out of Augusta National. It's a good thing he's a hell of a coach, because this golf thing doesn't seem to be his jam.
