There are still things you can’t do - I’ve yet to hear anything Hartley did that a thousand other coaches wouldn’t have also done.
While I’m sure there are many unfortunate examples of coaches being racist to black players, until they come to light, I can only assume that they’re far fewer and of lesser scale than Bob Hartley’s garden variety unpleasantness.

Hartley ordered guys with concussion issues who didn’t want to fight to go do it or be demoted to the AHL. Sarich says he’s the worst coach he ever had. Roy destroyed Hartley’s office, he hated him so much. McGratton hated him. Kipper as well. And he is two-faced - Mr. Congeniality with the press, a-hole with the players. At least with Sutter what you saw was who he was. Hartley also played favourites big time, according to some ex-players.
