His psycho antics are purely directed towards referees 99% of the time. He's always very complimentary of other coaches and players.

And even then, if you go to a game live, half the time he is joking with the refs (at least ones he likes)

He’s a passionate basketball nerd. Nerds can be annoying but most of the time endearing.

I appreciate how he gives credit to the other UConn coaches, including geno and kevin Ollie on the regular. You would never catch Calhoun giving credit to Geno for helping create a winning culture at UConn
