I just think there's a sizable difference between entrusting the part of the organization that isn't exciting (the business side - he has much more interesting businesses than the Mavs to satisfy that itch) to someone else and ceding power over the fun side, which is why anyone would buy a sports team in the first place.

I'm not even hating him for being too involved on the basketball side, honestly. It's his money, and if we're honest with ourselves we'll all admit that we'd be the same, exact way about it. I just wish he was much better at this. That's all.

Oddly, looked at from another window, it's almost like he's too under-involved generally, outside of dropping in bombshells here and there on the basketball side and leaving them for people to deal with. 

The mistake he made with Bob may well not have been in hiring him -- a new perspective might have been for the best. Hiring him outside the organizational structure, so that no one understood what his role was, might not have been the greatest idea, but didn't have to be fatal. The failure to attend to, understand, acknowledge, and deal with the massive problems that ensued, and letting the situation get totally away from him, seems to be the consensus fatal error. Fiddling while Rome burns kind of stuff.
