.510 winning percentage in the playoffs. A lot of people are high right now on the guy Doc just lost to Nate McMillan, he's been coaching about as long as Doc and he had a not so great playoff record coming into this season.
Rick Carlisle who was allowed to "step down" so he could take another job hadn't won a playoff series since he won a title 10 years ago. From what I hear he is not popular among current players so it will be interesting to see where he lands. As a former Celtic it seems like that would be the logical move but after "promoting" Brad Stephens they had indicated that they would hire a coach "of color" but that was before Carlisle was available.
