The Celtics would be wise to hire a Black coach who connects well with the Jays and was a former players.
The first person I thought of was Jerome Allen. The NBA never cared much about college coaching scandals, and he’s got a good history with the Jays, Brad, and ownership.
Others with a Celtic connection and experience as an NBA assistant:
Sam Cassell
James Posey
Chauncey Billups
Adrian Griffin
Ed Pinckney
Bill Russell
Cassell would be a great hire. He’s smart, high basketball IQ, championship pedigree, paid his dues as an assistant, has testicular fortitude.
Billups doesn’t have as much experience as an assistant, but also has those qualities
Griffin and Pinckney have grinded out many years as assistants, but probably don’t have a high enough profile to get this type of job.
