Lay off the poor attempts at condescension.
And that one example has worked out well hasn't it? It's not universal but the vast majority of teams and I would say all well run teams do not have meddling management or ownership. Look at Detroit, Philly, Boston etc.
And should the head coach need help, he leans on his assistants. I guarantee you he doesn't ask his boss. It doesn't look too good as I'm sure you can imagine
