>>The press hates him. When they reported his 900th, they just couldn’t help but mention there were two female coaches ahead of him, somehow diminishing his feat.<<
Well, he is a really nasty human being with an exceptional talent and an incredible work ethic. Its not surprising that people who have to deal with him would not like him but people who depend on his talent and work would respect him.
I worked for/with him and love the man, but what do I know.
