I will not argue this point beyond the following, since all of it is repetitive.
Ainge, having hired Obie, did everything he could to undermine him, publicly and privately. At the point when he informed Obie he was about to remove Harter, and Wallace sat by saying nothing, Obie finally told Danny he would not coach another year but would stick it out till April. Ainge then told Obie it would be best if he left immediately. Both men left the meeting in shock over what had just transpired.
Carroll does not command enough respect from his players to overcome their dislike of Ainge. It is a lost season.
