I doubt that John Wooden would agree with you.
He won 10 NCAA National Championships in a 12 year period without screaming and acting like a jerk.
Motivation is a major issue, but being a class act is even more important. There are other ways to motivate which are probably even more effective.

Most of us were not there to know what Coach Wooden was or what he was not. John Wooden also coached in a different time and circumstances. Not sure today he would have the same success if for no other reason he would have to play more than west coast teams to win his national championships. I have heard that Coach Wooden was not this "angel" many of us would like to think he was as a coach. Then again this is all opinion. Adolph Rupp was successful too in that era. Not sure how much of an "angel" he was either.
