I just don't know how teams didn't think hiring someone that settled a rape case or plead guilty to beating his wife would be a good hire in this environment.
The Portland Trail Blazers reached an agreement on a five-year deal to hire LA Clippers assistant Chauncey Billups as the franchise's new coach on Sunday, sources told ESPN.Billups, 44, will be introduced at a Tuesday news conference in Portland.The deal includes a team option on the fifth season, sources said.

The outrage is selective, which I’ve never understood. Mike Tyson is a convicted rapist, and he’s media friendly. People talk seriously about making Kobe the logo of the league. Billups just got a coaching job last year.
