I honestly am not sure why this is confusing
Bennett played 1 year for Hartley. I understood at the time that the team and player were pleased with the results and progression
Subsequent years saw Gulutzan and then Peters not give the guy a well defined role. Now Bingo is saying that it was under Hartley that Bennett was not given direction
It seems like the player’s productivity stall and frustration with lack of direction came under the subsequent coaches
The narrative about Bennett’s stalled progression is being retrofit to overlay on the ‘Hartley is a big meanie’ narrative but that’s not where the player got frustrated
At the time Hartley was canned, Bennett’s progression was as far as I am aware not a concern. An 18 year old with 18 goals and 18 assists was pretty decent and I don’t recall any accounts about him being disgruntled
