His hand was forced. We'll see how this turns out, but given everything we know from the outside this wasn't a Tre solution.

This is pure speculation but I do wonder if this seed was planted much earlier than we’d think.
There have been rumors that Sutter wanted to be coach here again going back to when Peters was hired. And I’ve heard rumblings that at that time ownership would have preferred Sutter too.
Then there have also been some rumblings going back to Wards official announcement that “Tre didn’t get the chance to hire the guy he wanted this offseason”
I do wonder if it’s possible that this offseason ownership told Tre that he had two options: Make Ward the full time coach or hire Sutter.
Quite possible that at the time Treliving said Ward but now with how the seasons gone ownership may have stepped in and forced the move to Sutter.
Alternatively you’d have to think that the Assistant GM to Treliving was probably a big supporter of them potentially hiring Sutter as coach too...
