Yeah, Treliving wanted Sutter for a while and the owners paid big bucks for him. If it is true that Treliving then wanted to fire Sutter during this season, it's hard to blame the owners for saying no to letting him pick another coach.

When you listen to Treliving talk about the Sutter hire, it sounds like it was 100% his decision.
