The reality is there will never be a coach here that satisfies anyone lol.

Brad Stevens was ridiculed too. Ime was as well, lets not act like it was all rainbows in his one year here. Even if they fired Joe and hired Cassell, there'd be "fire Cassell" threads posted here ASAP  :laugh:

Pretty much. There will always be armchair coaches who think they know better or could do better. It doesn't matter who the coach is, some fans will always clamour for the heads.

Joe would never quit on the Celtics the way Ime did. Here's my list of people who just quit on the Celtics: Kyrie, Ime, Ray Allen, and Mark Blount.

For some reason, Ime is held in high regard after what he did (harassed a Celtics employee) and given the benefit of a doubt by some.

Not only harassed but continued to do so after he was warned.

But it was consensual if I recalled. Ther w a whole thread of this somewhere in this forum tho lol

FIRE CASSELL!

All that's true but Ime quit on the team. No other Celtics coach has ever done that.

Consent can be retracted though.

Allegedly it was consensual, but he harassed her once she broke it off.

Consensual harassment? He got suspended from the team.

The last thing management wanted to do was get rid of their first year coach after going to the finals. He forced their hand, in addition to being forceful with her.

The report was that he continued to pursue a relationship. I'm sure that Ime isn't the first person in the history of the world to try to reconcile after things have been broken off in a relationship.

He's stupid for dating a subordinate, but that doesn't make him a predator.

Fair. But lets be real, even if Ime stayed I'm pretty certain the "Ime needs to go" or whatever thread that was would be well over 200 pages deep  :laugh:

Yeah, he forced the issue. It just makes me mad when I read comments about how they miss him. He forced his way out! No one to blame but Ime. Ime came in and made the worst of a great situation. Joe came into a bad situation and made the best of it. That's character. Joe has it. Ime doesn't.

Every NBA coach looks much better with top tier talent on their roster. Brad Stevens however was able to look good with mediocre talent. He maximized the potential of some of those rosters, especially early in his Celtics career.

There's a thin line between continuing to pursue a relationship and harassment. At the end of the day, I wasn't there. I'm going off the reports that the subordinate reported unwanted advances and inappropriate comments.

Wasn't Joe underage, not a 46 year old man? Joe also wasn't a head coach. I see a big difference.

I don't see age as an excuse, but I do think people can evolve and change. I hope Joe's sought help and counseling over the past 15 years.

Not an excuse but a big difference. A teenager vs a 46 year old head coach.
