Just when I thought Doc couldn't get any classier.

Give doc a tommy point. The more you read about the man as a person, it seems, the more you like him.

[Redz]

Wow.  Hopefully Doc showing up for the hearing when it was assumed he was committed to be elsewhere helped out.

Doc seems to be a really cool guy. The way he treats the press, the way he treats the players and all that.  In the Finals he never gave himself too much credit in front of the media either...really classy. And now this...

TP for Doc

Wow. Glad I asked. Thanks for the info. Indeed, Doc continues to prove what a classy guy he is. Well done.

KG should seriously be the head coach.

danny's a cool boss.  Seems like Doc has an unwritten family clause in his contract.  Or there is just a respect between the two. 

So the other highschools are complaining that this kid would be in their division?  I don't get it.  If the Rivers are in the district and they're the guardians then what's the problem.

If only there was a Doc Rivers for every Adam Jones that had problems... "Pacman" could have benefited.

Tp for Doc.
