Because his brand of basketball, while effective, is horrible to watch. 
He's also dour, humorless, and stubborn as a mule. I asked this list a 
while ago whether, given the choice of Doc as our coach, or getting Obie 
back, they'd prefer Obie. I do not recall many (any?) takers.

As for Peter May, I think he's disliked because he kills one's inner 
Keltic child with his caustic observations. Many fans would rather not 
be told the unpleasant reality that exists outside their Green Zone.

Winning is not everything, and certainly not the only thing. A sense of 
humor, a friendly face, and the ability to get along with the characters 
populating the NBA these days count for  something. Integrity and 
winning ability, not as much.
