With Danny Ainge gone the way of the dinosaurs and Brad Stevens promoted, the Boston Celtics should hired Kara Lawson as the franchise's new head coach.
Well, that's according to former Celtics talent Brian Scalabrine who went on NBC Sports Boston to explain his reasons for such a move to the former WNBA star.
“I think they're going to hire Kara Lawson,” Scalabrine said on NBC Sports Boston about a Kara Lawson-Celtics match. “I know the organization thinks she's unbelievable. I know the players respect her. When she went down to Duke to coach the women's team there — I mean, I'm just putting A + B = C to me. I think they hire Kara Lawson. …
“She's insanely good as a coach,” he added. “It's not one of those things where ‘she's good for a female.' No, she walked into practice and she commanded practice right from the jump. She was giving people tips and people's jaws were dropping. She's elite at what she does. … I thought she was head coaching material within five minutes talking with her.”
Kira Lawson already served as an assistant for a Celtics, but left before last year so she could become the head coach for the women's program at Duke. Now that Coach K is retiring, maybe she should stick around the Blue Devils and just take that gig. Surely everyone won't lose their minds if that happens.
Nonetheless, what are your thoughts on what Scalabrine had to say. With Brad Stevens now in the front office, should the Celtics hire Kira Lawson? If not here, then who?
