<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Last night Doc Rivers and Danny Ainge flatly denied a story on ESPN.com saying the Celtics' new coach has in writing that he has final say over all player personnel moves. Rivers is quoted directly in the story from a conversation with Hall of Fame coach Jack Ramsay, father-in-law of former C's coach Jim O'Brien [news]. But he said last night that while he did talk to Ramsay, there must have been some misunderstanding. ``I was just talking to Jack; I didn't even know it was an interview,'' Rivers said. ``I'm not sure where he got where he did with this. I know we talked about my staff and I said I had the right to choose those guys. But all I can do on player personnel moves is give my input. The final say is Danny's. That's his job.'' ESPN.com quotes Rivers as saying, ``Everyone I talked with said that I had to have the authority to approve all personnel deals. So I have it in writing in my contract. Nothing happens without my yea or nay.'' Last night, Rivers refuted that premise. </div> Full Article: http://celtics.bostonherald.com/celtics/vi...articleid=18999 You can bet with confidence this will be one of many articles about the progress of the Rivers and Ainge relationship.

Dr. Joke.....I mean hack....I mean Jack's intentions are of the same obvious nature that they were when OB was employed in Boston.
