If a coach makes an argument which is compelling enough that it has the recruiter overriding his own talent order, do we really blame the coach for having an opinion or do we blame the recruiter for getting sucked into the argument? Ultimately Hamish was the one with the authority to make the call so surely he is one who's ultimately accountable*.
(* Unless our managment was so ass backward that it actually allowed Pyke to override the recruiters unilaterally)
Pyke had no ability, no authority to overrule anyone in the completely separate recruitment team.
this is deliberate and by design to ensure that a coach with short termism didn’t dominate the long term view the recruiters are charged with
