Would Chauncey Billups Coach Hire Be Problematic?
  • 3 years ago
One of the top candidates considered for the Boston Celtics’ vacant head coach position is Seven-time All-Star, former Celtic, and current Los Angeles Clippers assistant coach, Chauncey Billups. Despite the experience and accolades, teams will likely do their homework before hiring Billups as their head coach, due to a past sexual assault allegation early on in his playing career that has since resurfaced over social media over the last week. According to Washington Post, "Stemming from his playing days as a member of the Celtics, Billups and former teammate Ron Mercer settled the lawsuit of a woman who said she was raped by the two Celtics rookies, at the time, in 1997."

Dome Theory's Host Bobby Manning and A. Sherrod Blakely discuss Billups as a coaching candidate, the allegation, and how should teams go about it.
