I don't think it was a large factor in their demise. Factors such as Haslett's shtick eventually wearing thin, Aaron Brooks continually turning the ball over in key spots and the fact that they were among the very worst teams in points allowed year after year during those mediocre years after the first playoff win were all much larger mitigating factors to a lack of success than any antics Horn displayed. When they won their playoff game during Haslett's 1st year in 2000, they were 10th in points allowed. The subsequent years where they were either .500, slightly above or slightly below, they were 27th, 26th, 14th, 27th and 28th during the 3-13 season. Nothing Horn could do was going to improve that.
