is the stamp of authority it allows CBS over the team and the credibility it gives him with the officials, and most importantly any major free agent that we may land.

It is one thing for Celtics to rebuild through drafting young players from college, that strategy would tend towards a long rebuild and it would not be difficult for CBS to assert his authority over rookies just coming in from college.

If however we opt for the quick rebuild through free agency or trades for established superstars our young coach would have to get credibility to assert authority over these stars in a hurry. CBS earning this credibility with the incredible second half success he is having with HIS team.
