I agree. Getting rid of Hartley for a glorified assistant coach was a miscalculation. If they wanted to make a coaching change, whatever, but they needed a clear upgrade behind the bench.

I still think the assembly of the team has been generally good, but certainly not perfect. IMO this team with a better head coach is cruising into the playoffs right now.

Ultimately though, that is Treliving's mistake to own and correct.
