I really believe this Doc contract extension does not matter that much. It is a one-year extension basically meaning if next year goes well, Doc will come back again and maybe be here long term if we get a Durant/Oden, a good veteran point guard, and the young players start to mold into a cohesive unit. But, if the Celtics start off to a 2-10, 0-8, or just simply start off flat Doc will be out of here. If that is the case, who do you guys want to see the Celts pick up as a coach.Here are some free agent/assistant coaching possibilties....Rick CarlisleBernie BickerstaffEric MusselmanBob HillRick AdelmanMike FratelloLarry BrownTerry StottsDoug CollinsTerry PorterHerb WilliamsI'm throwing this name in here just because I would be soooooooo interested to see what he would do....The one, the only, Sir Danny Ainge

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Some GM's are better coaches than GM's and vice versa. You never know.</div>True, I really think Ainge is a better coach than he is a GM. He's made some idiotic moves and has been cleaning up mistake after mistake since he took office here in Boston. He turned around an absolute mess of a team in Phoenix in the late 90's, I'd like to see him do it again in Boston
I agree, I would love to see Danny take over and coach the team he built. Like playa mentioned, he did a nice job in Phoenix as a head coach, I'd like to see what he could do. I don't see it happening though. I wish Danny was just our lead scout.
