Larry Brown "Breaking Down" players?

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">New York Daily News - Brown took a not-so-subtle jab at Stephon Marbury after a reporter told Brown that Marbury didn't understand why the Knicks coach said that wins and losses do not matter at this point.

"He only went to Georgia Tech for a year," Brown said of Marbury, "and that's an engineering school."

Last month, Brown called Trevor Ariza "delusional" after it was relayed to Brown that Ariza didn't understand why his minutes had been cut. "If he doesn't (get it), it's because UCLA was not a good academic institution," Brown said then. </div>

I don't know, when does breaking down players and using the media to motivate them become blatant condescention? Do you think that these commments go too far or was he just joking around?

I know Brown likes using the media to motivate players, but sometimes he goes too far. He's not earning his money and is proving why he is one of the league's most overrated coaches, in my opinion. The Knicks don't seem to be responding well to Brown's "motivational" techniques very well.
