Looks like they were late for their tee time and trying to make up some time.

What's very eerie is I've flown the accident aircraft several times, including into Brown Field.

From the article:
"And we have one plane taking off and landing and another plane entering the pattern landing; [a] recipe for disaster," said Seegmiller.
I didn't know one plane taking off and another plane entering a traffic pattern is "a recipe for disaster".
Time for VFR on-in, one-out operations now.

It's just attorney-speak. You can't really blame him for suggesting that. If you did make VFR one in, one out, then yes this could have been prevented. As would the Frederick traffic pattern collision between a heli and a Cirrus last year. But it's not really a practical solution.
If anyone is interested was randomly thinking about this incident and found the final report is out. Sounds like it came down to controller error.... sad but interesting read. As an enroute guy I'm interested in a tower guys perspective on the incident. As a contract tower I wonder if the controller was left to face the lawsuit alone. Interested if anyone has further details.
