Only other Celtics to win COY are Tommy Heinsohn (72-73) and Red Auerbach (64-65). Brad should have won it this past season but again, he was passed up.

Did he win coach of the year? Can't remember. Should have.Lexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164041545153442690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159003855959232638.post-45468720535666752272017-07-31T17:15:16.194-04:002017-07-31T17:15:16.194-04:00I was never a big Doc fan after he made the commen...I was never a big Doc fan after he made the comment that he didn't work on defense in practice because when they worked on offense half the team had to play defense. He just didn't seem to put a premium on defense. It was KG and Thibs that made the championship team a defensive force and not Doc. <br /><br />Doc left the Celtics because he didn't want to go through a rebuild and went to a ready made team filled with stars and veterans. It speaks volumes that Brad Stevens who has had a revolving door of players has made it to the playoffs with his rag tag groups all but one season and has made it to the ECF while Doc has been stalling out in the playoffs every year. <br /><br />I have to believe that the players Danny brought in when Doc was there were the kind of players Doc wanted. And I have to believe that the kid of players on the team now are Brad's kind of players. I much like Brad's players better. In the meantime, Doc has to figure out how to favor his son without alienating the players he has left. I'm really glad he is there and Brad is with the Celtics. <br />FLCeltsFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16325149432312931533noreply@blogger.com
