John Dorsey hired Freddie Kitchens after conducting a fake search. He wasn't on board with firing him and once Haslam forced his hand and axed Freddie himself, Dorsey once again wanted to hire a weaker coach he could control.
I think Dorsey is a good evaluator and collector of talent, but there was just no way he could be given the opportunity to hire another coach now that the truth has come out.
And at this point, can anyone question that Dorsey WASN'T telling Kitchens who to play and who to not play? C'mon now.
