I had a pretty similar thought. I remember seeing him in interviews as a coach in the mid-90’s for the former Seattle SuperSonics and thinking he wasn’t very likable on camera. I also always thought he was, by far, one of the dirtiest coaches of his time. I seem to remember his teams were well-known for playing zone defense when zone defenses were illegal.

I suppose he might be a little more likable on radio when you can’t see his facial expressions. I’ve had more than a few co-workers during my radio years who were completely unlikable in person only to have great rapport with listeners, but I wouldn’t be excited about tuning him in.
