Only one way to find out, but for some reason Treliving refuses to do it.

“Getting the most of out of the group” is just buzzwords. I mean seriously, how long would you expect this to even last? Bill Peters got the most out of this group out of anyone in his first season, but then got almost nothing out of them in his final year with the same group of players. Then Ward stepped in and they won 7 straight. Made the playoffs, but now, once again, here we are seeing the exact same story play out again. This core group starts out strong but eventually they revert back to their default, uninspired ways.
Also, here are some direct quotes from Treliving himself on Geoff Ward when he lifted the interim tag off and hired Geoff full time:
“I want to be real clear – Geoff is not the coach here because it’s the path of least resistance or just because he was here... You want to make sure you’ve got the very best person for the position. That’s why I wanted to step back and have those conversations with him about where we’re at and where we’re going and how we’re going to get there...It took us a little bit of time to get through that process and here we are. People will talk about people with bigger names out there, but I’m looking for the best coach for this team. He has the ability to be a top coach in this league and that’s what makes it exciting.”
Seems Treliving’s idea of “best” and “elite” coach differs from the average fan.
