The top 10 coaches of all-time, according to the Sports News:
2. Vince Lombardi, NFL
3. Bear Bryant, college football
4. Phil Jackson, NBA
5. Don Shula, NFL
6. Red Auerbach, NBA
7. Scotty Bowman, NHL
8. Dean Smith, college basketball
9. Casey Stengel, MLB
10. Knute Rockne, college football
Stop rubbing your eyes or reloading the web page, TSN did select Phil Jackson ahead of Red Auerbach.
I've always thought labeling Red as a coach was an insult. He was a pioneer and one of the best executives the league has ever seen.
Danny Ainge must be back from vacation. Here's what he told the Herald about Gabe Pruitt's release:
“Yes, Marquis is coming in and we like him a lot,” Ainge said, “but this move was just because there wasn’t going to be a lot of opportunity for Gabe in this lineup.”
Pruitt’s departure may enhance rookie guard Lester Hudson’s chance of making the team. The Celts’ second-round pick currently is unsigned and recovering from finger surgery.
“Well this means there is one less player to deal with,” Ainge said. “We like Lester and what we’ve seen from him, but we’re still undecided.”
Glad to read Daniels is still coming to Boston.
Around the league, Yahoo! Sports reports Orlando might have interest in Bruce Bowen.
The NBA will reveal the schedule to its teams on Monday and to the public on Tuesday.
