God forbid the coach watches a replay of the goal. The worst was uniformed posters stating he was lowering his head in shame.

I think the annoyance about the iPad was more about the fact that a coach should maybe be more immediately available to his players to minimize the emotional letdown after a goal is allowed and prevent doubt from creeping in too much. Replays can be and are analyzed in detail later; there's not much you can do immediately after a goal to change with your system or game plan that will make an immediate difference. At best, you may be able to make adjustments during an intermission, with the exception of stapling a player to the bench for an exceptionally bad play (which Gulutzan rarely did, anyway). The whole thing just gives the impression that you don't really care that a goal was scored against your team.
Having said all of that, this was not one of the things that bugged me about Gulutzan.
