Seriously people. If your first thought is quotas or you think you need to say "just kidding" or put it in a spoiler, it's sexist. Keep it to yourself.

For reference, this is what a thread on an assistant coach hiring looks like:
https://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1859061

I'm shocked we had not 1 but 2 threads about hiring assistant coaches that are not former known head coaches in the league.

Does anyone outside of front offices know anything about assistant coaches?

Kind of impossible to have a substantive conversation.

My point is... Kawhi wouldn’t have a problem being coached by Brad and his non NBA veteran coaching staff. Neither would Lowry. They aren’t those kind of personalities... dudes like Kyrie and Lebron are the ones you want “former nba players on the staff” for.

But whatever. This is a lame debate anyway.

Them oooor kids in their 20s getting drunk before a game... We need to address our weaknesses

The ‘weird’ part is only one of them had their credentials questioned.

To be fair that's pretty far from the truth.

In the first page of that thread that other assistant coach isn't being cheered, half of the first page is them saying it's a horrible hire because it's not a former NBA player and Stevens needs that or an experienced Head Coach with cache, and a few posters on page 1 decry the lack of NBA playoff experience of the assistant coach and another says this is a sign Stevens doesn't know what he's doing picking up another 30 something analyst nerd and not someone the NBA players will respect.

In this thread the first page is full of people saying "awesome!" "love it!" and a sarcastic mock of anyone who would dare question the credentials of hiring Kara.

So I'd say both are questioned there. One, not this thread, even says it's a clear sign Stevens doesn't know what he's doing.

I did not read past page 1 on that other thread because again I'm shocked we're talking about no name assistant coaches. Even in the off season lol.

How is she qualified? What coaching experience does she have?

Why don't you look her up and check her qualifications. She's got plenty.

Saying "IF" doesn't make this not sexist.

I completely disagree with your ban and the reason to do so. I didn't make a sexist comment. I asked others and they agreed, it was not a sexist comment.
They said, each of them, that I treated Kara Lawson as a equal and not a woman. Matter of fact, they claim you're the sexist or you have no idea how the word applies

I never read any of the warnings in the thread because I by passed most that had some stupid "gif" or they started talking about gender which I could care less.

I treated the new coach as a equal, my comment was, "the only reason to pick the COACH is the BBIQ." which she has base on her career.

You need to work on your reading comprehension or go to a dictionary to understand what the correct meaning of the word sexist means.

Maybe you need to step away from the board or be banned for abusing your power or for saying my comment was sexist which make me look like one to others on the board, which I'm not.


You need to read it again, no, on second thought have another Mod read it to point out to you that you made a big mistake and owe me a public apology.

PS This is the second time you came after me where you misread my comments.

Jesus, you are shallow. Her qualifications are a lifetime of success in and around the game. She's been a champion several times overs. She's been an ESPN analyst for years. She's smart. I'm sorry that she's the wrong gender so you have to pretend to be indifferent to your own gender bias. Your slip is showing.

Oh ya Douche comment is a attack on a poster. You now will banned !!!!!

My opinion is not influenced by her gender at all, it's influenced the fact that the generally accepted position was that the Celtics needed someone on their coaching staff with NBA playing and coaching experience.
