I always got the impression that Treliving managed from his ivory tower. There seemed to be continuous gripes between players and coaches and he never got off from his chair to get involved until it boiled over. Conroy seemingly confirming that he made deals in isolation without getting them involved (paraphrasing), also spoke to a guy who thought highly of himself and not so much decision making by committee. I guess that's all well and good if you're all round great, but he evidently wasn't.
