No, he's a straight up douchebag.  He used to be the coach up here and I knew him a bit, but knew his now-ex-wife well enough (she used to play hoops with us on Tuesday night - crafty little point guard).  He has been going through a nasty divorce the last year or so, maybe that played into him being even more acerbic than usual.

I'll relay a little story from one of the other coaches (not from UVM) that I know up here.  One night the UVM team didn't play as well as he thought they should.  He made the players come in for an unscheduled practice the next day and throughout the 'practice' tore them a new one (as it were) and repeatedly said the team cost him more in his next job with their crappy play the night before.  I always try to think of what I would do as a parent of one of those players, and I would be more than pissed with that 'motivation' you seem to be applauding above.  I'm not naive enough to think UVM is a goal job, but you don't make it so obvious to your kids that you think you are better than them.  Maybe he was, but he sure doesn't act like it.
