"In the U.S., coaches could be the father next door. They had no formal training. They're like old hockey players. They don't go to school and study."

Every era of coaches has their own set of problems and challenges. Today's player is different, but some things about them are better than they were in the past. I don't think coaching today's players is any tougher. I think we're a little too hard on the current day player because he's different.
