Does this theory hold any water in a world where they've added an extra layer to management in Burke, have boosted the assistant GM suite by three bodies in Pascal, Conroy and Maloney and boosted the scouting department?
Why pay a million or two less for a coach with a hard line and do all that?
Winning is tough. It's 31 teams all trying to do the same thing. You have to make 100 calls on players and you hope to get 70 of them right. It's tough. They may or may not be the right people making these decisions but I'm not sure I follow the happy with mediocrity or cheaping out on a coach theories given their efforts.
