The most damning actual example Sarich brought forward, that I heard, of something Bob specifically did, was that Bob wouldn’t let them pass backward in the zone. Boo hoo.
And other than that, he used demotion as a stick for fringe players some of the time. I wonder if it worked better than just going ahead and gifting them top 6 time.
I also heard that the Dalai Lama told Hartley that on his death bed he would receive total consciousness, by the way.

For me it's simply about where the line is for what coaches can and should do to motivate players. I think some of the things we have heard about Hartley are over that line. They may have been OK at one point, but not anymore.
Not everything has to turn into an argument about those other things you are bringing up.
