The players who are great shooters thrived in a system that maximized shot volume. The players who are more dynamic and creative struggled.

It's not about the quality of GG it's about maximizing your roster. Monahan and Hamilton didn't stop being grest shooters under Hartley. Bennett and Brodie stopped being effective playmakers under Gulutzan. It did not balance out - we went from a top ten offensive team to a bottom ten offensive team if you compare the two year samples.
But we are not comparing seasons and team results in this argument, we are comparing players and their individual seasons.

The argument is that a star player struggled under a coach, therefore the coach is bad. However, other players excelled under the coach. Retaining that logic, does that make the coach good?
