Ainge's control, would pull the plug on the entire system. It would be
worse even than firing Tex Winter, inventor of the triangle offense,
from the Lakers coaching staff, because at least Phil Jackson has had
some experience running the triangle without having its inventor around.
O'Brien had never run Harter's defensive scheme alone, and probably
didn't want to.<<<<<

The problem with this scenario is that, according to Harter, the defensive 
scheme is and always was O'Brien's.  Harter just coached it.
Besides, his example is a poor one.  Winter has always been at Jacksons side 
with the triangle offense.  Jackson has never had to run it himself.
