The man my 9 year-old calls Mister Grumpy Pants does let his humanity show. He’s usually got the game face on and takes a lot of heat for various things. So maybe pressure turns him into (more of) a tool. Does to us all I suspect.

I am pretty sure that in a conf call interview about going to London this year he was joking with reporters about “special things the team was working on, like stepping out into a crosswalk and not getting hit by a bus.” (because they drive on the wrong side of the road there). I skimmed it at first ant thought he was literally talking about something as boring as traffic. same old Bill…. When I realized he was making a cross-cultural joke it was a pleasant surprise.

If it was not a joke, his players must be dumber than I thought.
