It depends.
Is it reasonable to assume there's really something in the statistics that would make Treliving look something other than a mediocre coach at best? This isn't really saying it's obviously unreasonable (although I think it is, but that's just my opinion), just how I would answer that question on a more general level.
If not, then that deep dive is more likely produce false results that someone wills themselves into believing than they are likely to produce useful information. It also wastes time in a situation where there might be a race to snatch a certain top coach.
(I'm not saying there's a race either, I don't know how this works, but I think AV most likely will take at least a couple of weeks off before even thinking about signing on to a new team.)
In this particular situation though, all that number crunching should already be done, because the questions raised were obvious long ago. Adding the last few games into the data isn't going to change the results significantly.
So if you're the kind of executive that wants a deep dive into the stats, you're IMO kind of a bad executive if you waited this long to put your staff to work. In fact you should have most of the relevant numbers in December and just updated regularly after that.
