    “Hey you, pink haired hippie freak, you want some of this?” 

    “You want some old man?”

    That’s the kind of boss we all need, keeping it fun but still getting results!

    This is completely uncalled-for, unnecessary, and probably unwanted, but I gotta do it because I’m ill.

    This is such a fascinating insight into leadership and influence that people don’t see. Think about all of the classic “asshole” (for lack of a better term) coaches that have had a lot of success. Pop and Bill Belichick are perfect case studies for this. They coach to an incredible standard, they are brutal and honest with player, and they will hold each and every one of their players accountable no matter that players standing. That’s all fine and good, but if there wasn’t every bit as much of what’s in this video as there is the other stuff mentioned, the other stuff doesn’t work. Works with children and parents too. The value of play and humor as a part of an intense development/accountability based relationship cannot be understated. That’s also the reason why people like Brian Flores and others hit peaks being assholes with no humor or play.

    Sorry, just fascinating to me.

    I ain’t never gonna stop commenting on the efficacy of leadership qualities and tactics!

    ESPN: Young Spurs players TOTALLY WRECKED by old man

  6. It’s fun seeing Pop like this. But I still feel bad seeing him coaching. Because he planned to retire after his 6 year contract but the death of his wife changed it. Looks like he got nothing else to do now but to continue coaching.

    I tried doing this when I coached high school ball and a player said I was racist and was treating him like a dog. My love of coaching was ruined just because a player kept getting lost in a drill so I helped him move to the correct spots and was bumping him. It’s a physical sport and I got humiliated in front of my players and some parents.

    Pop is like, You ain’t no Rodman, and Rodman ain’t got nothing on me.

    So like, I don’t know why but Pop reminds me of Voll, the old guy that Frieren visited who had dementia and dreamt of his wife the day after they reminisced about the past (shoutout to Frieren readers).
