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.

So yesterday I hopped in the car in the evening to go get some milk, and there was a discussion between Pat and Loubo being re-aired from earlier in the day
Loubo was talking about Sutter and figuring out who were ‘his guys’, and Pat was volunteering what he believed he could say based in what he had observed
One interesting thing that Loubo mentioned was that Sutter was ‘brought in by ownership’ as the first half of a sentence, the context for his further pontification
It was stated as known and accepted - further attention wasn’t drawn to it, and it was crystal clear
