I don’t know why it’s become so in vogue to suggest the way to get the most out of athletes is to be nice to them.
Watch the Last Dance. Michael Jordan is as big a dickbag to his team mates as you could possibly be. Yet he has two 3-peats, 6 Finals MVPs. It’s the price of playing poker.
Nothing worthy of widespread acclaim and recognition is accomplished by being nice. It’s not to say you can’t cross the line, but if you don’t want someone screaming in your face for you to do better, quit cashing your million dollar cheques and join the workforce.

I don't really disagree. This is why I think some of the players on the roster are a bigger issue than coaching. Some of them do not have the mental fortitude to handle a tough coach. It's become a bit of a country club. After one season of Peters, they seemed to quickly tune him out. Some people on here claim that Guadreau and Monahan both demanded that Hartley get fired, or that they should be traded.
This team has some rot in their core and I am not sure any coach can change that.
