[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact coaches have such a short span is maybe is a clue they are doing it wrong.

Top athletes have the upper hand - teams pay a lot of money for stars and will have limited tolerance for a coach who makes them ride the bench.  The best relationships are built on (often grudging) mutual respect not fear, abuse or constant drama.   Some US coaches saw the "lowlight" reel of bad behavior and think that is the whole ballgame - cycle perpetuates as then attracts aholes who want an excuse to act like that so they can feel good about themselves - and people now expect coach to show "passion" and "desire to win" with such behaviors and act as apologists for them.

People used to say Harvey Weinstein was a great director and his actions were all part of the package and the "cost of doing business" - and that people just didn't understand what it takes to be a top creative - turns out that just isn't true either.

You dont get it but thats okay. Very few outside of high level sports do. [/quote]

This is where you embarrassed yourself.  You'd crawl up and die under a rock if you ever knew who you just tried to patronize.
I'm not going to lord it over you though.   Word to the wise - if the truth of your worldview depends solely on the premise of you being the best athlete to ever live -  then you might want to open your mind a little but there champ...

Dipsht coaches ranting and raving is not them doing their job - it is behavior that is tolerated if they can also do their job.  The professionals are in control of their emotions and use anger as a tool only sparingly if at all.   A look without words from a gaffer I respected said more to me at halftime to make me raise my game than any ranting clownshow ever could.

Boorish bully behavior is normalized and excused by the weak, and tolerated by the craven if a team is winning.   Once the results are crappy the crappy coaches/crappy human beings are gone too.
