I sent an email to comcast and got this response:
Thank you very much for taking the time to write us about Bob Cousy. Many of us at Comcast SportsNet New England, including myself, are native New Englanders and we understand the importance of the team’s history in the hearts of fans across the region.
We have been honored to have Bob join Celtic legend Tommy Heinsohn and Dorchester native Mike Gorman on our broadcast team as the third man in the booth for ten games during each of the past nine seasons.
For this upcomoing season, we have made several changes and have opted to go with a two-man booth. For personal reasons, Tommy will not do road games. Donny Marshall, who last season proved himself to be a terrific addition to our on-air team, will do his best to fill Tommy’s shoes for road games.
We share your sentiment that Bob Cousy is a classic and important part of the Celtics’ history. As such, we have offered to work with him to find other roles within our network. Unfortunately, he has chosen not to accept that offer.
Respecting the Celtics tradition is extremely important to us. We have been the proud home of the Celtics for the past 28 years and it is the passion of fans like yourself that makes every one of our telecasts a privilege.
With another potential championship season on tap, I hope you will join Tommy, Mike, Donny and the entire Comcast SportsNet team in closely following the new season.

Here was my response to Skippy:
Dear Skip,
Thanks for taking the time to read my email and for your response.
I know you're probably getting hammered on this but I feel like I need to put this to you in another way.
Bob Cousy is Mister Celtic. He is one of the reasons that I find the broadcasts to be enjoyable even when the Celtics won 20 games a couple of years ago.
You should be grateful that he wants to continue doing games on Comcast and give him whatever he wants.
He's an 80 year old man for ****. Show him a little respect.
Please think about and try to understand what I'm saying.
Thanks
