Steve Bulpett breaks the news : Doc will be back next season!

[gar]

Doc has announced that he is staying. Best part is the reason. He wants another crack with "These" guys.

[Birdbrain]

Let the flood gates begin.

Poor fans have to deal with another season in Championship contention...(actually the best team sans a Poorly called Finals)

: (

Love the 'these guys' comment that means Ray as well.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Birdbrain]

well then its settled.

Everyone stays and i hope that includes Nate.

No its not.

Yeah not sure about Nate but the the ones we need will be back.

[Witch-King]

Yes! Love that we're looking to get Lawrence Frank as the assistant coach too!

Lawrence Frank? Loved him when he coached the Nets a while back. At that time they were setting record winning-streaks, not on the verge of having a record losing season.

it's funny how everyone has gone from feeling that doc should be fired to feeling heartbroken if he left. but i'm rather glad he is coming back.

Well, a lot can happen in 3 years...like, you know, a championship.

well just because a team wins a championship doesn't mean the coach is the best coach for the team.

Not necessarily.  But it can certainly change the opinion of many fans.

Well not everyone but, yeah that's the way things are.  I wouldn't want them back without Doc or the other way around.  It's either all or total rebuild.

[RAcker]

I'm relieved that Doc is coming back.  Now Danny and the rest of the organization (including Doc) can work on luring help here and putting together a solid mix of vets and youngins to make another run.

[Redz]

We're puttin' the band back together again

[RAcker]

We're puttin' the band back together again

Jake and Elwood are thinking about Bron Bron.

[Who]

I think this is a strong sign that Danny is going to look to keep this team together. To re-sign Pierce, Ray and Co and go for one more run at an NBA Championship with this group.

[Bahku]

Great news!

Better tell those rookies to pad their shorts with cottonelle....they'll  be siiting on the pine for 2-3 years till they prove to doc..in garbage time,. that they can play in a real game, or even in a game 6 at the last minute..maybe doc can talk scal into staying for about 6-7 mill...his fav bench guy...Scal-no-stats..!
