People that know him and have got a feel for him can understand what he could possibly be going through, ... but I don't think any one particular player who played for him in the past is really trying to find anything out. We're just trying to go along with the way he approaches things.

He's sour when you win, and he's sour when you lose.
He threatened me a couple of times to make this decision.
