You know what all this reminds me of?
I remember when people ridiculed Roger Neilson for using video of games in his coaching. I also remember when the same sort of people ridiculed Bob Johnson for writing things down in notebooks in between plays. Those people assumed that a coach should always be able to get all the information he needs in real time, from one angle (viewing at ice level from behind the bench), and retain it perfectly in memory, and that any coach who can't do that is a fool and a laughingstock. In other words, those people were idiots.
There are many things Glen Gulutzan did wrong, and some that he deserves to be mocked for. Watching the iPad isn't one of them.
