It was something along those lines short and to the point but it made me think of losing a big sale in my profession and thinking if I'd had a coach like that I'd been ready to kick ass.

I am not saying that Marty was incompetent.
He did a lot of things well, among those was motivating and teaching.
But the fact remains, when the team needed a coach in the playoffs, one who wasn't afraid to lose in the quest to win, Marty was not that coach.
