Ainge as Coach

[Eggcentric at aol.com]

I just don't see Ainge taking over as head coach.    

You probably wouldn't convert your all-star hitter into a starting 
pitcher unless there were no other decent pitchers available.
Make Ainge your head Coach, and you lose his scouting which
many feel has been his strong suit.   

And yes, I feel coaching would be a punishment for Ainge in 
several ways.   In addition to the possible pitfalls of emulating The 
Isiah Syndrome, he's very happy flying around the country on his 
own schedule, viewing future draftee after future draftee. 

Why would he want to give that up?   He wasn't willing to last season
when the owners were contemplating replacing Rivers but couldn't
come up with a decent replacement.
