Not just the crap Kelly pulls, but I see it all over college sports, coaches yelling and screaming at players for their mistakes, like it really helps..it's letting out their frustration with the player, how that helps I've never understood.

It's worse when I see it in Youth Leagues, I've seen it many times. Coaches losing their shit on some poor kid who made a mistake..maybe even a big mistake that cost the team.

No doubt some respond to that, and I guess in the culture of athletics maybe even expect that.

I never saw Anson Dorrance coach, I just remember reading an SI article on his remarkable run at UNC womens soccer and it was clear he understood the dynamics of coaching women. I'd be surprised if he used yelling and screaming and cussing, etc as one of his motivational tools.
