As others have noted, every coach will have his favourites. It's natural human behaviour. We can surmise that Sven was not a favourite of Hartley. What we don't really know, is
why. We can all guess, with the options running from "Hartley is irrational" to "Baertschi is entitled".
Dajazz said that Huska noted Baertschi's attitude "had improved". That, I'm afraid, is not a compliment. Given the outward appearance was that he tended to pout after being sent down, I can draw a picture of which way I tend to lean in terms of the "why" of Hartley's dislike.
