A few years back, I spent time with a former NHLer and assistant coach to Scotty Bowman. This guy would become unhinged at the very discussion of anything relating to Bowman and would only refer to him as “that f@cking cu#t.” It was a visceral rage decades after they worked together.
I get that winning is important in sport, but some of these coaches can really screw up the people they’re leading... in some cases for a lifetime.
