I maybe reading your post wrong. But I thought ...while VC was personnel director or GM, Mooch was the HC. So there is a tie there.

Mooch supposedly had Lewis in Detroit with him.

So when VC finally decided his ass was on the line and felt he should get an extra pair of eyes I presume he called Mooch who thought of Lewis who was available.

See all tied up in a pretty little box with a bow. Merry X-mas.
