End of an Era for NBA

As to the opening post, Rick Carlisle is probably going to find a head coaching gig before the next season starts. Maybe the Pacers, where he coached and did well before, until "Malice at the Palace" and Ron Artest destroyed everything.

hey, can you give me a shot of that clairvoyance?

Bill Russell was the first black head coach in any American professional sport.

Russell's treatment by the 1960's era Celtics fan base is instrumental in forming the perception among atheletes of Boston being a racist city to play in. There is a certain irony that this tremendously poor piece of misreporting would fail to acknowledge Russell, of all people.

I thought this thread was about the Celtics hiring their first person of color HC in history.

(Jay Williams is playing the ultra-lame "I was hacked" card to explain why he forgot about Doc Rivers. And ML Carr. And KC Jones. And Bill Russell. And one other guy who I cannot remember the name)

It's really hysterical, if you ask me. Talk about completely clueless.

Before we all do a pat on the back *********** against Jay Williams (who is a bonafide idiot) a bunch of recent MLB players have shared experiences of racist heckling in the Fenway outfield the past couple years which I've also observed. So let's not pretend Boston doesn't have a reputation and also that segments of the population keep validating it in people's minds.

His hacker must be psychic, he read Jay's mind perfectly. Hacked for one post, okay, Jay.

Who is Red Auerbach?

Never mind, it’s the guy who sings

Whew. Carlisle was a C's player for 3 years in the mid 1980's out of his dozen year playing career. Glad that the esoteric streak nobody cares about can continue now.

Hopefully McDaniels can coach for this organization for as many years as this streak has been alive.

Your behavior pattern reminds me of a great conversation had on the front porch of one of my New Hampshire homes: Fighting Words

Exactly. Pathetic. Look, that is a MASSIVE mistake, but he still would’ve been better off just owning it, saying I don’t know what the hell I was thinking, and moving on
