What tangible evidence is there of a shift in JBs autonomy? A radio interview where he took some blame for this season? A win? Is there something else I've missed?The previous information was based upon assumptions, and JB having what was perceived as full autonomy.
As for the last week, we've seen a tangible shift in that level of autonomy. But big picture, JB is not going to have full control over how things unfold at this point. There was a time when he might have, but the program's decline playing out on the court over a multi-year span has eroded his freedom to choose his own adventure with no restrictions.
Don't get me wrong, I hope you're right. I just don't know: (1) if he had full autonomy; (2) if anything fundamental has changed. Every one of the last 5-6 seasons we have seen periods of irrational blaming, then a moderate mea culpa and a couple of rebound wins.
