I do question the timing of it.
To put him in a back to back, on the road, in the first two games of the season, and in a stretch of 3 games in 66 hours with travel between all three games seemed panicky to me.
If you have that little faith in Cooley then it was a failure of management to not address the backup position when lots of more proven backups were floating around waivers.
And in the end he didn't seem as sharp last night, and that contributed to the loss, so I think it's fair to question the decision.

The waiver thing is a more complicated decision.
You would have to believe that the waiver pick up is a significant upgrade. If it's marginal - then what's the point. Give your guy a chance or go for a bigger upgrade.
There were some familiar names but did any of them represent a real upgrade? I'm not sure they did.
I also wouldn't look at the back to back starts as a sign they don't trust Cooley (though they may not) and rather just the team taking a shot at getting a season off to a 2-0 start.
