Following the Houston Rockets' firing of head coach Kevin McHale on Wednesday, there has been talk about Danny Ainge recruiting his old friend to fill a coaching role on the Celtics.
According to Ainge, his interest in McHale stems from Kevin's knowledge as a former 13-year NBA power forward:
"I've always tried to get Kevin to come work with me and work with my big guys. I told Kevin that today," said Ainge, who is on the road scouting college games. "We've got a spot for him. I know we could figure something out for him in some capacity, but I think he's just in a wait and see mode.
