    Better wrap this up before a high profile team gets an early exit from the playoffs and fire their coach. Ime would be top of good teams list as well, except for boston

    She is saying if she was forced to make a decision, then, yes, she would do what it takes to get Udoka here as coach...


    Erm...

    Stone: thanks for coming to my place to conduct your coaching interview over a relaxed bbq.

    Udoka: no problems man, I pride myself on making a big effort to be in the staff homes

    Or it's a fetish of his and the women of his choice should be in a relationship/marriage.

    Can't tell.

    She definitely knows which player on the team her son needs to attach himself to.

    Makes it all the more funny the ex-coach picked basically every other player to hitch his sinking wagon to.

    I want him.

    He'll definitely improve the penetration game.

    I don't like it, but it's certainly a good sign that the best available coaches are all coming in for an interview.

    My opinion: all the talent in the world can't make up for a person who is bad at managing and maintaining relationships with various types of people. If we had a track record of Udoka as a HC having good relationships with his players and organization, that would sway me but we only have 1 year.

    I also want to tell you I have a post in 2015 on this website recommending Ime Udoka as a coach, well before he was a hot candidate. I know his talent, I know what he's capable of.

    Not that it mattered since silas is now gone, but
    Silas only hitch himself to kpj out of all the youngsters. Green and smith got playing time cause of the draft status but kpj was always silas favorite.

    I only care about if he can manage and maintain relationships with the players in the locker room and the rest of his coaching staff…and by all accounts, he was a leader in that veteran Celtics locker room and brought the team together

    people talk like he was Mark Jackson down in Boston

    Sign him ASAP.
    Trade for Brown.
    Sign Harden.
    Draft Wemby.

    About time we had some good luck.
