I just don't understand comments like this.  Who cares how much the   
Celtics want to pay him?  If they give him $1 million or $100 million, it   
makes no difference to me.  There's no salary cap for coaches . . .

I'm not saying that Pitino is the answer to our problems, but I think it   
is pretty obvious that we need a coach who is better at the Xs and Os   
than ML (if we ever seriously want to compete, that is).  We should be   
spending *WHATEVER IT TAKES* to get a quality coach in here (Pitino or   
whoever else).  Again, why should we (as fans) care one way or the other   
how much the team spends on its staff (rather than its players, which is   
a different story).  If they have the money and feel it's a good   
investment, let them spend it.
