Boisjoly recommended setting up a team to solve the O-ring problem

And there was a team working on it. IIRC, a redesign of the joint was being worked on. But no one suggested, before the evening before the launch, that launches should be stopped until the redesign was completed.

No. But they did suggest that launching in unusually cold weather was a very bad idea.
