Self Contradiction

Look at what Korach says: כי כל העדה כולם קדושים ובתוכם ה' ומדוע תתנשאו על קהל השם - EVERYBODY is holy, so why are you in charge?

He didn't realize that the entire community gets much of their holiness from the fact that Moshe is their leader.  [Sifsei Tzadik] 

He was also upset that he wasn't appointed leader of his tribe. Meaning - why are you in charge, I should be in charge? But, Korach, if everyone is holy then why should YOU be in charge?? [R' Naftoli Ropshitzer]. 

I want to remind everybody of the great spelling insight/cliche of many a coach: There is no "I" in team.
