Simmons has a Celtics pipeline (I mean members of Celtics ownership
call him - we unfortunately don't rate the same privilege) and 
Westphal seems like a very logical choice in that he has a relationship with
Ainge, and Ainge didn't name an immediate successor to Obie, so his
coaching choice, has to be someone who is occupied in another job
at the moment.

Then there's the Jersey Red factor (Wallace & Papile blab to him - 
he blabs to good media friend Bill Reynolds of the Projo).
