I keep getting back to this because it is important. There is a tonne that we as fans simply will never know that goes into making roster decisions. I am practically certain that the false dichotomy you have concocted to explain the situation is not an accurate reflection of reality.

Well that suggests Hartley is not competent. Take Dallas Eakins for example. He was a nut about diet, physical conditioning, and knowing the "X's and O's", yet his team was terrible and his record was horrendous.
So Hartley being about superficial practice characteristics is interesting, but when your player is clearly better during actual games, then maybe the emphasis should be directed elsewhere
