Oh I agree with the sentiment of others here, don't get me wrong, I just feel part of the reason Hartley is so authoritarian instead of authoritative is because players don't respond with respect to a coach who hasn't played the game himself. It's a catch 22, if he didn't bully he would get no response, but would probably be a better coach, but if he is authoritarian players will end up tuning him out or get stunted in their development. It's a shame that you have to have played for 500+ games to get any respect in this league.
