O'Brien gets job offer
The Celtics have offered an assistant coaching position to former Boston College head coach Jim O'Brien, league sources said yesterday.

Quote:
If O'Brien accepts the position, he would join Clifford Ray as the newest members of the coaching staff, replacing Paul Pressey and Jim Brewer.
Coach Doc Rivers said Ray agreed to join the staff as an assistant yesterday.

I was about to laugh at Jimmy O coming back as the Celtics assistant.
Isn't this Jimmy O the head coach (former?) of BC?

Ex-Buckeye O’Brien turns down offer from Celtics
Quote:
Citing personal reasons and poor timing, former Ohio State coach Jim O’Brien yesterday declined the Boston Celtics’ offer of an assistant coaching position.
O’Brien said his decision "had nothing to do with the Celtics," praising the organization, executives Danny Ainge and Leo Papile, and coach Doc Rivers for their professionalism.
"They were great to me," said O’Brien, who was men’s basketball coach at Boston College for 11 seasons (1986-97) before coaching at Ohio State (1997-2004). "I’m flattered they had the interest that they had.
"It really is about me and a personal thing with me. The timing is not great for me to make the commitment that I would have to make to do that job properly. It’s almost as simple as that.
"I live in Boston. I like the Celtics. I hope they do very, very well. I’m always pulling for them. [The decision] has all to do with where I’m at now."

Basically what he's telling us is: Try again in two months.
