Celtics Asst Coaches

[Larry_Russell]

Pretty telling no one seems to want to work with Brad and Joe.

Or

Brad is not doing his job of interviewing and hiring.

Either way **** those guys

See, I was talking about this a few weeks ago! I wish more former head coaches would be willing to do that! I feel like there are a lot of people who could help most teams but for some reason, they don't do it (money and ego probably). So much experience going to waste out there.

Ok, all I ask at this point is that we can sign at least 2 of these guys:

-Doc Rivers
-Stephen Silas
-JJ Redick
-Rajon Rondo
-Sam Cassell
-Mike D'Antoni
-Charles Lee
-James Posey
-Derek Fisher
-John Lucas

Is that really so much to ask?

Rivers and Rondo could come as a package. So could Rivers and Cassell. Or Rivers and Posey, or Posey and Cassell...So could Silas and Lucas (Lucas was Silas' assistant in Houston).

And Redick would be awesome so we have a shooting coach and Tatum will love having a Duke legend on the staff..

Does Tatum care that much about the Duke connection? He was there for at most 9 months. He probably didn't even stay in Durham after March.

He goes back to Duke every offseason to work out there, to train with the coaches and the current players on the team. He usually goes to at least 1 Duke home game per season. Him and paolo Banchero are close.

Instead of trading Payton Pritchard they ought to hire him as a special dribbling coach to teach Jaylen Brown how to do it.

Most of the guys who were announced by Woj to be taking gigs today also had identifiable ties -- they already worked for the team, they'd worked for the team and thus lived in the city before, and so on.

Kevin Ollie was the only exception I noticed.

Stotts was on NBATV doing commentary a couple months ago and he was negative on the Celtics and also seemed like a super boring guy who didn't make great points in his analysis.

Reddick I find extremely arrogant and smarmy and I just don't like him.

completely agree about Reddick

Obvious guys with Boston ties are Silas and Cassell.

The exodus has begun.

Some of these guys are not assistants. They are 2nd row guys. It makes sense to remove guys that were hired under Ime. Every coach brings his own guys, for the most part. Problem is that Joe has almost no connections/relationships so it's hard for him to get bigger names.

Charles Lee is a guy I would be interested in if he's let go in Milwaukee.

So little interest in retaining Aaron Miles?

I must confess to not noticing anything he ever did for the Cs.

Pretty sure neither of those things are even remotely likely.

[Ed Pinkney]

Do people think there is a coaching staff out there (head coach or assistants) that can actually get this team to consistently play a style that is not so iso and three point focussed? Or play the defense they are capable of consistently?

If the answer is no, then it probably doesn’t matter who the coaches are. This team will either shoot themselves all the way to a championship, or continue to stumble and disappoint.

The other option is obviously to shake the roster up.

[Marvel]

Brad gonna hire someone we never heard of or saw coming.

Is there something about Mazulla that makes everyone want to leave?

[165bows]

At least I don’t have to see that picture of that awful shirt again.

[zoyathedestroya]

So little interest in retaining Aaron Miles?

I must confess to not noticing anything he ever did for the Cs.

AFAIK, he's the assistant assigned to Jayson Tatum when he first came to Boston from Golden State. Guy who you should praise or blame for Tatum's development. Maybe the closest coach to JT. Also worked with PP for a bit while he was languished on the bench.

[Hal14]

No. Those other guys were brought in to the organization by Ime and knew Ime from way back.

It'll be good for Mazzulla to get a fresh start now with a staff of his guys - not Ime's guys.

[CeltsfanSinceBirth]

This team has enough chokers. Doc can stay as far any from this organization as possible. This is a coach who has lost the most NBA playoffs series in NBA history, after having the series lead.

Not asking him to make decisions. Just asking him to be a dad to the coaching staff. Think of him as the Blake Griffin for coaches.

I think of him as a choker. And it's not just an opinion, it's a fact. We need less chokers and more clutch players/coaches.

Larry Bird isn’t walking through that door. Lol. Who did you have in mind?

[CelticsPride18]

I think Sam Cassell would be an ideal add to the staff
