Doc Rivers agrees to 5-year extension with Boston Celtics - ESPN Boston

Quote:
WALTHAM, Mass. -- Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge was making his way to a makeshift podium for his end-of-season news conference when his cell phone rang. Ainge politely excused himself, joking that it was his next head coach.

Only he wasn't joking. It was Doc Rivers, who had just landed back in Orlando, delivering the good news that after ironing out the final details, he and the Celtics had agreed to a five-year contract extension.

"I think Doc is the best coach in the league, so I think it's great for us, to have him around," Ainge said.

The value of the contract is believed to be more than $6 million per year, a source told ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher Thursday night.

Great News

Doc has certainly elevated himself to be one of the best coaches in the league....He may not always have the best gameplan (the Heat can attest to that) ,but he certainly is a great teacher and motivator.

I don't think enough Boston fans appreciate just what a huge coup this was to lock Rivers up for 5 years... that's going to be a huge factor attracting availalbe talent and bridging from one Big 3/4 to the next championship caliber team.

The rest of the league is not happy about this - that's for sure.

Good move, right now we have a coaching triumvirate that is unequalled and envied by most sports fans across the country.. and maybe Claude, if he pulls this off, may become part of the conversation.

this is a great move to lock doc up. hes a excellent coach and i love the guys loyalty to the celtics. its obvious how much doc loves being a part of the celtics and the players sense and feel that also. this helps heal a little the huge disappointment this season was.

I'm sure it didn't hurt to watch Miami get massacred in Game 1, either. :eek:

Yeah but at least they're contending for the Eastern Conference title and not doing other things... like sitting at home... watching the Eastern Conference Finals. :snob:

Also, Tom Brady and Wes Welker after the Divisional playoffs say "hi".
