I'm surprised this was even brought up as a thread. I'm sure we all know the desires of a someone booking a billboard for advertising space ranks pretty low on Brad Stevens' criteria for hiring a new coach, to be honest. Given his own job and credibility will hinge upon the performance of whoever he hires, he will want to pick the best candidate possible, whether that's a man or a woman, black or otherwise, or former NBA player or not. Brad hired Kara to do a job, so his bona fides should not be in question. It's entirely possible Becky and Kara end up being the best candidates possible, particularly Becky, but if they are, a billboard won't be a factor in his decision. It will be because he decided that they were the best person and if that's the case we should all support his decision and not blame it on some billboard. I'm actually amazed if anyone thinks otherwise, irrespective of their political views.
