In no real order. Just make one of the following say no just like that punk that turned us down (minus Beilein. I think he'd take the job in a second) Donovan (yes, ******* call him, who cares) Beilein (just took me 2 minutes to spell his name. I hate it but he wins) Jay Wright (yep - call him) Bennett (yep - call him) Few (do it, Scott) If all these fail - Musselman - he had his team READY TO GO in the 2nd half today. We haven't had a coach like that since Knight. . . . . . Beard - I don't think the hype is real with him but whatever. He's got juice.

Yup. Pull the offer and wish him well. He had his chance. Never again.

We can laugh at this but if I'm Dolson I'm for sure calling him. Why the hell not?

I agree. His employer gave him a raise (allegedly) and he took it. Every single person on here would do the same - don't @ me. Stop assuming this was his plan all along. You don't know. You're just angry right now.

I love how we're all just assuming the raise is legit. The same people most of you are bashing are choosing to willingly believe their information again. We have NO idea what happened. Time to just move on. It sucks, I know but I'm at the very least happy we have an AD with some ******* balls. He tried. I trust him to get us the next best available.

I hear ya. It sucks. Can't spin it in a positive way. We lost.

My DM is always open.....just sayin. Don't let some angry children dissuade you from sharing. Your information is appreciated by most!

We have no idea. Sounds like he told Danny Ainge the size of the offer and seriously considered it. Not his fault if Danny offered him a raise to stay. Who in their right mind would say no to a $2.5M raise?

Yup. We put him on a pedestal and he knew he could get whatever he wanted out of us. No hot chick is attracted to the dude who constantly throws himself at her no matter how many rejections. Have fun with that 8 seed and 1st round loss - if you even get that. You'll be missing us then, Brad when C's fans are screaming for your head. Or you wont - who cares. It's over.

I agree. Funny we thought his wife (and agent) was on our side.... Moving on.

Well if he used IU as leverage (can't blame him) then that may close the door on him ever coming here. See ya, Brad.

Still trust our insiders but I hope Dolson has some respect for IU here. We can't just wait and see what happens with Brad and the NBA playoffs. Hope he didn't say "here's our offer, we'll wait until we see what happens with the NBA playoffs" You have to be willing to walk away. Offers shouldn't be open ended. I want Brad as much as the next but if he doesn't want to come, and if the huge offer we (allegedly) threw at him isn't enough - goodbye. You can't just take the job whenever you want, Brad.

Yup. Woj and Shams haven't said a word. They aren't in the speculation business like 99% of national sports reporters. When they speak, it's facts.

I originally thought the same but I mean, what if the C's go to the Finals and win (they won't) or even makes a deep playoff run. He then quits or gets fired? I don't see it. A flameout in the first round, maybe.

Appreciate the info. This doesn't make sense to me. If you're leaving/negotiating with IU, whatever - why would both Brad and the Celtics want him to continue on the sidelines?

Ignore the national guys. How hard is it to just say "I've seen the IU/Brad chatter, haven't heard anything either way. I can't see him leaving but it isn't impossible" They want us to be bad sooooo badly and I love it. If it were Duke in the middle of a coaching search, the tone would be the complete opposite.

He's committed to Brad not coming. Can't flip now. Now he'll just blame his "sources" if Brad comes. Nothing to see here.

Oh my god

Mixed emotions with the DylanEveryday guy. @ISP didn't you say to trust this guy?

is that a good thing? -not a gambling guy

The only national NBA guys I'll believe are Woj and Sham. Notice they haven't said a word yet....

I can confidently tell you the National guys don't know diddly poo. And if/when they're wrong, they'll make stupid excuses for being wrong Source: my brain

Has nothing to do with the current game but count me in as not impressed too. Other than those two years, his record is average at best. I do like his personality, though. I'd honestly rather have Beilein. Yes, I know his age.

legit source? looks like a Bucks report so may have NBA sources.

The interview give you a nice idea of what Bostonians are like. After Ainge says "I think he's going to be the Celtics coach for a long time (direct quote)", one of the interviewers goes "those hicks always want to go back, the hicks always want to leave" At the 22 min mark if anyone wants to hear it.
