One story is he said she said. Two is “maybe that guy has issues with some players”. Hartley has a lot more than that. So everyone is lying or he’s a bigger jerk than almost any coach I’ve seen.

It's the team doctors who are responsible to diagnose him and the GM to put him on IR. The fact they didn't do that shows that they expected Parker to play and do his thing. He wasn't exactly good at anything else. If Hartley doesn't convince him to do it, he wouldn't have been doing his job and would have been judged if the team lost. He was doing what he was hired to do. A culture change was needed, but it starts at the top. It's a classic case of don't hate the player, hate the game.
