My grandfather and both my uncle worked for the post office as well. My grandfather was retired when I was born but my uncle was still working use to deliver our mail. 

I put in 40 years as a clerk . Was very dedicated and loved it most of the time.

So he watched his son walk at the Notre Dane game and that’s supposed to mean something with IU?  I’d leave my job to watch my son’s team. 

It 100% may have nothing to do with IU but how many times has he flown to indiana to watch his son? And on a night the team he is VP for plays? I’m not going to research that but I’m guessing not many.

so the President of the Celtics skipped a Celtics game to watch a college basketball game his son didn’t even dress for? That’s maybe the most interesting thing we’ve had in a while. More or less, he was visiting his son and they watched a Notre Dame game. They could do that a lot if he walked on to IU lol

Yep 100% the most interesting Brad tidbit in the thread IMO. Him physically being present in Indiana to “watch a game” where his son is not gonna play a minute this time of year instead of being with the Celtics is curious in a good way to say the least lol

My insider says our new coach likes basketball.

Father visits son at school during downtime at work.. More breaking news at 9:00 o’clock. There really isn’t much of anything for Brad to do this time of year, and it’s not like his job requires him to be physically in Boston.

He had time to go eat at Los pollos hermanos, surely he has time to go watch his son play.

Well he only bothered watching him one time in the previous 30 games and that was in Boston.

“Far more” is really pushing it IMO Stu… Murray is 0-0 as a HC. McCollum won 4 D2 titles and outright MVC conference champs his first year in D1 with a rotation of 7 D2 and JUCO guys. That’s not nothing.

I said "arguably far more qualified." Here's why:

• Unlike McCollum, Luke Murray has been on the sideline for two straight DIVISION ONE National Championship games.
• Unlike McCollum, Luke Murray has been the lead recruiter for Division One players. 
  • McCollum not only hasn't landed D1 players, he currently has a roster of D2 holdovers and JUCO recruits..
• Unlike McCollum, Luke Murray has been the lead recruiter for a whole bunch of 5 star recruits.
• Unlike McCollum, Luke Murray has been a key participant in landing top level portal players, and has dealt with their agents.
• Unlike McCollum, Luke Murray has been instrumental in designing the offense that has won two straight DIVISION ONE National Championships.
• Unlike McCollum, Luke Murray has been mentored by a Hall of Fame college coach.
• Unlike McCollum, Luke Murray has been the lead game planner for games against ranked Division One teams, tourney games, and the very best ion the profession. 

So would a guy like Luke Murray be a risk? Sure!

But is McCollum, a guy that's been a fantastic program builder but has never even sniffed a major program, a higher risk? In my opinion - very much so.

I know it's almost like he doesn't even have to be there the rest of the year.

It’s the most interesting Brad tidbit in this thread… (that’s not saying much). Still more interesting than his daughters soccer team lol

Yeah, the innocent explanation is that he wanted to catch a game at ND, and now was the best time since the waiver deadline recently past. ND has a home game Saturday, too, but the Celts are hosting the Lakers that night.

That having been said, I do think it was interesting rumors were flying last night before it was discovered he was in the state.

You must’ve edited your post to say arguably :) I’m starting to think Ben took a wee in your cheerios…
