Rasheed Wallace collaborated one season with Doc Rivers in his career, on the side of Boston. He did not keep a very good memory of it and sharply criticized the head coach of the Philadelphia Sixers the day after the elimination against the Celtics.
“You have to get Glenn out of here. Bring in someone the players respect. He doesn’t make any adjustments. I’m saying that based on the season I spent with him in the locker room. That’s the criticism that always comes back.
When your team is ahead, you don’t need to do anything. But when you’re in the trenches, facing an opponent and another good coach, you have to be more than a locker room manager. He always relies on the players to make the adjustments. As a coach, you also have to make those adjustments, especially when what you’ve been trying to do isn’t working.
In Boston, it was us, the players who were on the field, who made the adjustments. Glenn is not the pragmatic coach the Celtics need. Nobody wanted to believe me when I said it. Watch today”.
Doc Rivers has two more years on his contract with the Sixers and has indicated his intention to stay in Philadelphia. Daryl Morey, the General Manager, will he have the same desire to continue the collaboration?
Despite the failure, Doc Rivers wants to continue at the Sixers
