I suspect it is more about levels of involvement. I suspect they are involved in most key decisions - but could just mean they are informed. Or it could be that they approve (doubtful).
In the case of Sutter they could have been more involved because
- The team is underperforming
- The existing coach was being fired mere months into a new deal
- Incremental budget was required
- Pre-existing relationship with Sutter
The level of involvement and influence is what's key. Ultimately what really matters is what is BT's decision that they approved or their decision that was imposed about BT.
I suspect the former but we don't know.
