A. Sherrod Blakely joins Bobby Manning to weigh Chauncey Billups and other candidates for the Celtics head coach job, along with Billups' past involving an alleged 1997 rape.
A. Sherrod Blakely joins Bobby Manning to discuss the candidates, from Ime Udoka to Chauncey Billups, that have been connected to the Celtics job. They start discussing the changes in Boston's front office, what Brad Stevens will look like at GM and how he could succeed. Then they get into Billups' past rape accusation, that ended in a court settlement shortly before the Celtics traded him during his rookie season. Does he still owe some level of accountability, or does time grant forgiveness and Boston can hire him as head coach without question? What questions should the media be asking? Bobby and Sherrod talk rape and sports, what consequences should be levied against perpetrators and the evolving conversation about holding those in power to account for crimes against women.
