where I live, yelling and chewing out the players used to be the norm and I feel it should still be. If you want to have fun recreationally, then by all means go play rec ball. If you want to be competitive and take winning seriously and religiously then you need one of these coaches and these parents to be on your butt constantly. I never thought of basketball while i was in high school as fun. It was my job and my duty to lead that team to a win because when I played some of the other players did not have any motivation if our old coach(we had a new one who did not yell at all, at us my junior and senior year) was not on their a$$.

I consider that coach to be doing his job and trying to motivate his players. If you have ever heard of a coach by the name of Rick Insell from Tennessee who has won about 10 state championships in his 20 years as a head coach at Shelbyville High School write back, because you want to talk about a man who will chew his girls out.
