    Allen joined the Celtics bench in 2015 after being the head coach at Penn for six seasons, posting a 56-104 record and never making the NCAA tournament.

    With Boston, Allen coordinated how the Celtics would attack opposing defensive schemes. With him on the sidelines, Boston won seven playoff series and made the Eastern Conference Finals three times.

    Allen, who is in the midst of his fifth season as a Celtics assistant, previously spent five seasons as the head coach of the University of Pennsylvania men’s basketball team, resigning in 2015. While coaching at Penn, he accepted $300,000 in bribes to get a wealthy Florida businessman’s son into the Ivy League school. In February, the NCAA handed Allen a 15-year show-cause penalty, which in essence will keep Allen from working in college sports until 2035.

    We're being played. Keep tossing out candidates that have issues so we'll accept someone they already have in mind.

    Like me!

    Kidd and this guy will make you happy to have a dog as coach.

    If Dame is “intrigued” enough by Billups, it’s a no brainer. Olshey has a hard on for Billups, so bring on the rapist.

    Just this spoiled drink incident makes him better coach than Stotts was.

    I knew this minion would have a different tone when put in front of a camera. “Very intrigued by Billups” is a lot different than the toss away sentence at the end of an article that leaned heavily one way. I still say Billups is the choice.

    The Billups candidacy may be just as dubious as Kidd's:

    He is looking for a job. Why not as an assistant for Portland.

    I think people want him as only head of defense for Portland, not head coach.

    an isolated incident that may or may not have been criminal 25 years ago with no charges vs an actual guilty plea and multiple other incidents is not the same thing.
