I come to praise Chris Ballard, not to bury him.

If this is true than we are in more trouble than I ever thought. Of course he takes what the coach wants into consideration, I am sure he also runs it by the owner, but if he doesn't make the final decision who does? He kept Banogu on the team for years and the coaches kept making him a healthy scratch. That doesn't scream to me letting the coach make decisions on players. In the scenario you postulate, where decisions are made by multiple people, nobody is in charge and we are essentially rudderless. I am not saying you are wrong but if you are correct, jeez.
