That coach has made intimidation a large part of his coaching modus operandi. And I don't think that it makes him an idiot. I do think that it makes him a person who shouldn't be allowed to coach anybody outside the NBA, and especially not impressionable teenagers. It's wrong...and it's sad. And what is even sadder is that you have a school administration that not only lets this person get away with such unsporting behavior but also seems to encourage it. And what is truly sad is that his followers are quite willing to spread his gospel also. It's all in the quest for their Holy Grail--a win.
'Sycophants' and 'modus operandi' in the same paragraph! Two gold stars for you, young man!
