I think Chubb's scenario is very possible. Just like the players have no confidence in Corbin, with the attendant results, the entire organization must have doubts about Vivek. Who on this board has no doubts on Vivek? With doubt comes debate. And with debate invariably comes conflict. It's very possible this debate is deeper and wider in scope than just a search for the new coach. It may involve a complete restructuring of the decision makers in the organization and the process by which decisions are made.
In particular, I have doubts about Vivek's decision making method. Vivek appears to be far too reliant on people he knows, mainly from his stay at Golden State. He needs to reach out to a multitude of individuals to synthesize a wise course going forward. If it were me, I'd be talking to every notable coach and GM in the NBA, as well as any notables that may have retired from the NBA (e.g. Larry Brown and Hubbie Brown), as well as notables in college (e.g. coach K). Those discussions would be far ranging, and even I daresay, philosophical. The end product should yield a philosophy that everyone within the organization can buy into, a credible GM that is in accordance with that philosophy, and of course a great coach. If this kind of due diligence is going on behind the scenes, I'd actually be a lot more patient than I am currently. It could yield some excellent long term benefits and eliminate the reactionary decisions that we are now witnessing. On the other hand, if the behind-the-scenes debate is purely over Karl or no Karl, they should just get on with it.
