Familiarity does breed contempt. But that is not normally true for the local-boy-come-good; or the town that glows in the reflected glory of one of its sporting sons. However, in this passage it is astonishing to see how quickly the narrative moves from 'amazing teaching' to 'offence'. Why? Offence is certainly not a natural sequel to amazement. Something else is going on here.
