RE: Frightening NBA Fans

["R. Singh" <keltsfan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Westphal runs a country club atmosphere. It's gotta be someone a little
more like Riley and O'Brien in terms of bringing your lunch pail to work
everyday. 

Also, when Westphal was fired by Seattle, he publicly blamed all his own
failings and problems on Vin Baker, not looking in the mirror at how he
might have contributed to his own and his team's failure.  I don't know
if the Celtics need that kind of personal quality in their next coach.

My goodness.  Byron Scott?  Haven't any of these 4,548 people ever heard
of
Celtics/Lakers when Scott played? Did they even know he did play?   Wow.

They weren't born yet, and are probably not much into reading. 

To join the next-coach debate, none of the choices above appeals to me,
except for 'Someone else' :). Ainge should know whether DJ is any
good.Yet there must be a reason why he hasn't had any serious job offers
in the NBA, and it's not - as much as he would like to believe so - due
to abusing his wife. Also, Collins is really smart, but seems to wear
out his welcome pretty quickly. And I like him a lot as a TV analyst  ;)
Mark's choice of Westphal sounds good, and Ainge should know him, as
well as Sichting,  inside and out. Btw, I found an interesting story
about Sichting's rookie experience:
