Someone being ineffectual can drive you to hate them. Especially someone who is an authority figure over you and, at least in your view, is impeding success. Like the boss can be a good guy who brings in coffees, takes people for beers, and gives good christmas gifts. But if he's driving the company into the ground, you still might hate him.
I've had coaches like this for sure, where the players just end up laughing at them. The throwing the stick moment would have been a jump the shark moment for me as a player.
