So you think Griff fired the Pelicans coach after 1 year without getting Gayle's approval first? It cost her $20 million dollars. I know she's hands-off but she's not THAT hands-off.
I never suggested Gayle would fire Loomis or Lauscha - but she will fire a head coach, and has (or, to avoid any further confusion, she has authorized someone in the front office to do so lol) in the not too distant past.
