Not a smart decision.

is he still here?

if so why?

should have been fired yesterday.

I believes he works one on one with some of the players during the off season. He went out to the west coast to work out Hayward after his injury and guide him in his rehab.

I cannot believe that he was not let go by the Celtics organization. This to me is just as bad as what is going on right now with those two actresses who paid thousands to get
their kids into high profile schools.

Why could the parents not have just done it the legal way, like Jared Kushner's dad who donated $2.5M to Harvard to get Jared his spot? What's wrong with these people?

KJ was offered a full scholarship to Havard but he did not want to go. Go figure. In any event I could not have donated enough money to get him in.

I got accepted to Harvard way back when tuition, room, and board were only $2100 a year. Chose to attend another school, Amherst. Then in grad school I drove taxi in Cambridge to pay my expenses. Now klds come out of school with $100-200,000 in student debt. One crazy world.

And doesn't the general public also use connections to receive favors ? Scheming is a problem at all levels of society.

This is yet another thread that is not so much about basketball. Let's not turn this towards either a social issue and/or a political issue.

It is enough that our team's assistant coach got caught taking money. He should be fired, that's my take.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Gyso, this was a few years ago, why is he still there???? I don't get it.

But, on to basketball and the Celtics. This is going to be one tough game tonight. Interesting to see how the Celtics respond after that butt kicking on Monday. I think it is all hands on deck
tonight

True Gyso. Nothing more to see here. Let's move along.
