bad changing everybody great guy instead manager people treating treats worry
He just treats people like people instead of treating them like players. If a guy has a bad day, he doesn't treat them any differently than if they had a great day, and that makes everybody feel comfortable. They can all go out and play, and not worry about their manager changing his disposition every day.

He knows what he's doing and knows what he wants. He grew up in this game and knows the game extremely well. I think he still has to work on his defense, but he will play every day.
