My dad coached a youth league basketball team for years that my younger brother was on. My dad has a really bad temper, and it was hilarious to watch him. The team was good, and the parents knew my dad just wanted the kids to learn, but he wanted them to win as well. The kids are older now, 17-20 age range. I was talking to one of them that played for my dad, and he said my dad was "the Bobby Knight of youth league basketball". I got the biggest kick out of that. He was like yeah, I remember being in 5th grade and asking a friend if he was gonna play for Mike Laverdiere, and the kid said, "no way man, I don't think my parents will let me." hahaha
