Who's next ???

Who do they bring in to coach this group ?  I personally don't want Ainge to
do it.  He needs to keep his distance from the players.

How do you fix it? You start by firing Obie and bringing in a real coach.
This team is dangerously close to quitting on Obie, if they haven't already.
He needs to go. Ainge knows it. It will happen sooner or later. The team was
better before he had a chance to coach it (immediately after the Antoine
trade). They've gotten worse since, and all of Obie's old habits are
creeping in - overreliance on one-dimensional veterans (Walter, Blount,
Battie, EWill), overcoaching (killing the running game and bogging down the
halfcourt "offense" with too many called plays), and too much one-on-one
basketball with a reliance on an increasing number of three-pointers.
