Doc and the Celtics



The following are some quotes from Doc Rivers (via Jay Bilas) from the Coaching U Live Clinic in Orlando, Fl.  Probably the best coaching clinic out there today.  There is a reason the Celtics have had success with this group of players and coaches.

Rivers on the importance of roles on a team.
"To be successful, you need to have everyone embrace being a "star in his role." And a player's role does not stay the same from year to year. In order to win, a player may have to accept a role he does not like, but that is imperative for his team to win."

Celtics Assistant Kevin Eastman on the development of a bench:
"Eastman spoke of the development of a bench mentality, and urging the bench to make a difference, not just give the starters a blow. Your reserves can win you a title, but they can also keep you from winning one."

The video is a group of some of my favorite clips from the ESPN series The Association: Boston Celtics

I would also highly recommend following or checking Coach Kevin Eastman and his Twitter page daily.
