New York Islanders: Barry Trotz Holds Brock Nelson Accountable

Often times in sports, coaches are afraid to discipline their star player. Take Tom Coughlin and Odell Beckham Jr for example. Odell essentially cost Coughlin his job because he was uncontrollable and he was never disciplined.

Whether that was Coughlin’s fault or someone higher up’s fault for not disciplining their young star is up for debate. New York Islanders head coach, Barry Trotz is one of the rare ones who will discipline anybody.

As the Rock would say “It doesn’t matter what your name is” when it comes to Barry Trotz. If you aren’t holding your end of the bargain, you’re going to get disciplined for it.
