Quite frankly, if you read a few Red Auerbach books - you kind of understand Calhoun and his methods. Red did not mind players celebrating wins - his theory was that would make them want to win more the next time. Interestingly his theory about a coach getting tossed was that the players would say not that they would win one for the coach - but would win to show that SOB of a coach that they could win without him.
