Doc Rivers will remain Boston Celtics coach

I love it. Doc is still our coach.

I guess my love letter to Doc Rivers worked. Doc’s staying, and the Celtics gave him a bit of a raise. (Boston Herald)

Doc Rivers is not opting out.

The Celtic coach will be returning to the club for at least the remaining season on his contract, a source close to Rivers indicated moments ago.

Yahoo! was told, “Doc simply couldn’t walk away from this group of players, nor his loyalty to Danny Ainge.” I love it.

This is the first step towards bringing everyone back for one last shot. Or two last shots (though Rivers didn’t want an extension, so he’s probably got one more year left in him). Despite no extenstion, I can’t stop grinning right now. Once Danny goes ahead and signs Ray and Paul to reasonable deals I’ll probably be able to walk on water.

By the way, this means we never have to hear another rumor about Vinny Del Negro possibly coaching the C’s. Cheers to that.

    And exhale… phew. This should go a long way to convincing Paul and Ray to sign some reasonable deals and keep the band together.

    YES! Couldn’t have been an easy decision, but it’s so obvious how much he loves coaching in Boston. Phew is right!

      I don’t think he would’ve coached for any other group of guys. He loves this team.
