Super random, but your post reminded me of Kelly Hrudey speaking about Al Arbour. He was very much the opposite of what you described. When things were going bad he was tough in practice but always very positive and motivational. He was sure to praise a guy when he did even the smallest thing right. When they were winning he was the hardest coach on the face of the earth. Nothing was ever good enough. You could be riding high from a big win and Arbour would let you know that there's always better.
It's always interesting to see how coaches approach situations differently.
