TAKE DAT WIT YOU 9/8

Eh. 

It's not like these things are black and white. 

On a scale of 1-100 (100 being the highest score), Rick could have had various degrees of confidence in different recommendations of Bob's. Presumably, he might have routinely tried things that fell 51-100 on the scale, trashed items 1-25, and maybe given Bob the benefit of the doubt in accordance with Cuban's expectations, on things 31-50 when he needed a new look. (Just pulling these numbers down for illustration, the podcasters didn't phrase it that way.) 

If something actually wasn't working, I assume neither he nor Bob would want to keep doing it, and Bob would come up with another recommendation. 

To the extent your larger point is that it seems bass-ackwards to have a guy who wasn't even on the organization chart having a large degree of sway wrt coaching decisions, and having a degree of confusion over the extent of his authority in the ranks, I don't argue that for a second. 

From what I know of the place, it seems to have been highly dysfunctional on a number of levels. The only thing I would question is whether Carlisle is a terrible coach because he tried some strategies Bob (and Cuban) wanted him to that he wouldn't have tried on his own. I daresay all of us who have ever worked for someone else have followed instructions that we weren't 100% enthusiastic about from time to time.
