He isn't just some mad man who likes to yell at and berate his players. He is someone who is passionate about his job - teaching basketball, and life to young men.

This isn't probably going to come off of my fingers like it's meant to, but here goes anyway:
Anyone that has played any sport above a high school level knows that coaches aren't normally as calm and reserved as they seem on the sidelines. During practice all bets are off and I've heard things like, "You dumb mother****er" more than once. He just doesn't change between practice/gametime the way most do.
