HEre was an old article defending his nasty behavior. 
Sports | Warriors' P.J. Carlesimo Shows Many Facets -- Some See Controversial Coach's Ranting, Raving As `An Act' | Seattle Times Newspaper
Carlesimo's coaching buddies admit their friend is demanding but wonder why that should be viewed as a negative.
The ranting and raving "is an act," said Mike Brown, who spent nine seasons as one of Carlesimo's assistants and is the head coach at Hunter College in New York City.
Kenny Anderson and others saw it though
"I'm pretty sure that at times somebody wanted to beat up P.J.," Trent told the Newark Star-Ledger. "It's just his coaching style. . . . But just because a man has authority over you, you can't abuse it, either."
Added Kenny Anderson: "Being with P.J. for a year, I know how he gets under your skin at times with his yelling and his swearing. You just have to somehow - underline somehow - hold your composure. Sometimes it doesn't work."

Noone deserves that. like i said I dont feel bad for PJ but Spree was still wrong.
I hate a$$holes and there are people out there that like to push peoples buttons. Sometimes they run into the wrong mofo and that mofo fukks them up. Now i dont feel bad for the victim since they asked for it but the mofo that fukked them up is still wrong for it.
You want a real life example? Look up the "Treacey" case in Florida. PERFECT EXAMPLE of someone pushing someone else's buttong and wind up getting fukked.

From one of my homies who knew players coached under PJ at Seton Hall
I used to be friends with Brian Caver, Jerry Walker and Anthony Avant if you remember them from the late 80's early 90's and when I worked at law firm in the mid to late 90's that repped PJ. From the players, he was the worst they said, constantly cursing and making these young men feel worthless. The people at the law firm also said similar things. The players that played with Spree also said to the effect that PJ got what he deserved. He should never get another head coaching job in the NBA or College.
Someone else piggybacking off that:
the former dean at my law school was the arbitrator in that case, and he must've seen what you guys said because Spree won that case.

if him cussing out players was justified then i don't see a problem with it, i don't think he's barking on them for no reason. that's why i love college ball, the coaches don't really have to kiss ass and placate their superstar players like in the NBA, they can chew them out when deserved. eric spoelstra will NEVER bark on d wade and bron, they bark on him. we need more Popovich's in the league. imagine Parker choking him out, smh

Tell that to the aribrator who after listening to witnesses on both sides assessing both their characters deemed Sprees sentence as too long.
He thought PJ was bytch enough to think "well....I understand."

Don't disrespect Popovich by aligning PJ Carlisimo alongside him.....ever.....again.

shouldnt no grown man cuss out another grown man without having the consequences thought out. if a player hauls off and pops that coach in the mouth, he shoulda seen it coming.

I don't like the use of violence to solve issues like this, however there is no place for verbal abuse in the workplace. Spree was a nutter for his actions by if Carlisimo is really a dirt bag like so many people said, and the abritrator agreed with, we can chalk that up to karma.
It's a big reason why these college coaches fail in pro sports. That slavemaster mentality doesn't work with adults who get paid.
